Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport

5.0

In the past year, I've been making mindful choices in my life in order to be more present and overall happier and one of the best things I have done is cut back on the digital noise in my life. This is a great book for someone who is interested in going in this direction, or someone who is skeptical of the benefits of digital minimalism. I think that most of us know that too much social media and internet time are not good for us, but I always search for the "why?". This book lays out some great background information to support the author's stance, and he offers excellent advice for living an intentional, peaceful life as a digital minimalist. While I must admit that I won't be adopting every practice that he suggests, this book encouraged me to be more mindful with my digital life, and so far the benefits of digital minimalism have given me so much more time to focus on things that actually matter. Check this book out!
