Digital Minimalism

Read Digital Minimalism and you'll never again mindlessly sacrifice your productivity to clickbait or lose 40 minutes of your evening to your Instagram feed.
In this timely and enlightening book, Cal Newport introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives - digital minimalism.
Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can have fun with friends and family and eat out at restaurants without the obsessive urge to document the experience.
Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement and makes a case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how they are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world and he shares strategies for integrating these practices into your life, starting with a thirty-day 'digital declutter' process that has already helped thousands feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
