Goed om te lezen als je wilt minderen met je telefoon. Paar simpele eye openers. Verder niet echt hoogdravend boek

I loved his points about the need to have walking time/quiet time where we don't have a radio or audio book or podcast or something like that in our ears. Our brains need quiet time.
I also loved his point about the importance of scheduling in high quality leisure. It is too easy to fill out time with mindless social media scrolling. I need to schedule in the time for high quality leisure and NOT fall prey to what's easier.
This is definitely a book to read again.

7/10
Just read it for a second time. It was better, but I still stand by my original review.
I like the idea of digital minimalism as it's presented in this book and I think there is a lot that can be accomplished through reading and practicing the principles, but the book as a whole seemed to be mostly fluff. It's like the author wrote the book and out was 70 pages, and the publisher said "you need quadruple the length".
As a result there was a lot that didn't directly pertain to digital minimalism, but was still sound life advice.
I'd like to find the minimalist version of the book that stays on point.

2/5 stars. I wanted to love this so much, I really did, but it was so...repetitive? No evidence backed studies, just what 'other people found worked for them.' There were some really good points, but nothing new that I haven't heard/read before.
Some advice that worked for me, some that didn’t. I liked the digital detox, and think I’ll try it. Also liked the idea of being intentional with your digital time, scheduling digital time, and actively choosing other leisure activities that don’t involve a screen. Sometimes it veered too much into “screens bad and melting your brain” in a way that wasn’t helpful to me.
