I didn’t find much new in this book as I’ve read much of his blog in the past, but the main theme of digital minimalism is piercing and I have been thinking about it constantly in the several months since. I think many of us have the desire to be less tethered to our phones and other tech; this book helps us find the strength to do so.

I think this is the best book I have read this year. I always wanted to reduce my screen time and the advices here helped me achieve this. Such an eye-opener and engaging book!

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.

I didn't learn anything new and this read a lot like a textbook. Wasn't a fan.
