A must read. It's logical, researched, and interdisciplinary look on the contrary impacts of not having quiet reflection in our lives and addictions to social media that don't serve us, but serve the organizations is profound.

Lots of food for thought. Not all changes are universal but there are quite a few I plan on implementing moving forward. If you feel addicted to your phone or social media I highly recommend it!

It's like a sequel for the author's book 'Deep Work'. But I do think this one should have came first.

The book reveals how should we use and optimize digital tools in this day and age. Which is really beneficial—my life has been better overall, though there are sacrifices.

In conclusion, I recommend reading this book and everyone must read it. Especially for those who are really into social media or someone would call 'addicted'.

4.5. Challenging and convicting book with lots of practical ideas. Some practices he offers that he didn’t even think of include scheduling time for low-quality leisure activities (like scrolling and streaming) and staying away from it the rest of the day, consolidating articles and sources of information to save and read at a predetermined time, or laying out a “leisure plan”. A book I want to own so I can take time to apply the practices and develop a personal philosophy of digital minimalism. Newport makes good points that are hard to argue with, even as much as I want to.
