So much great information and scary realizations happening in this book. I've been considering my social media and computer use for quite a while and Digital Minimalism has pushed me into changing my habits. I'm planning a detox next month and filling my time with more reading (and some drawing)!

Even if you don't think you have a social media or digital problem ... everybody should read this book so they can realize that THEY are the product, not the consumer. That and learn to be more mindful and intentional with your time. ( )

Worth reading as it made me think, but this could have been 3 blogposts worth of content instead. Read this book together with The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, as it provides the scientific context of many of Newports observations. ( )

Deals specifically with reducing digital clutter by adopting a different philosophy and approach to tech usage. You'll learn:
• What is Digital Minimalism, what are its key principles, and how digital minimalists see and use technology differently;
• How to do a major lifestyle change with a 30-day digital declutter; and
• How to maintain digital minimalism by adopting a range of practices in your daily life.

I enjoyed it. Cal has never had a social media account. Counter-intuitively, this gives him a clear perspective of the cost/benefit balance offered by social networks. He offers a number of actionable ways to reduce and clarify how we interact with devices and other people. ( )
