Philipp Keel's Simple Diary™

The all-new installment of TASCHEN’s bestseller

In a world where products are out as soon as they're in, where communicating without wires doesn't come without strings, and even our accessories need accessories, we need simple tools. A book that helps us look inside because we are overloaded outside.

There are three reasons why most people, although they have tried, won't keep a diary:

1. Not every day is very eventful.
2. It actually takes a lot of discipline to write.
3. In retrospect, many find what they have written embarrassing.

Keel's Simple Diary™ offers structure for those who don't have time to wonder, making it easy to record life's moments. It gives the pleasure of a quick response and the sense that no matter what's wrong, more is right.

This instant classic is filled with refreshing philosophy and original wisdom. Keel’s Simple Diary™ entertains, helps you focus and keeps you company.

"With an addictive design and curious text, this book gives readers the ‘simple tools’ to create unique, memorable daily records without all the heavy lifting of blank journals."
Publishers Weekly, New York

"Mit Weisheiten, witzigen Illustrationen und einer Portion Selbstironie führt das moderne Tagebuch durch das Leben. … Wer Jahre danach das Buch wieder zückt, der wird nicht, wie normalerweise, erschreckend Peinliches darin finden, sondern eine unterhaltsame Dokumentation des eigenen Lebens."
— Boleromagazin.ch, Zürich, Switzerland
