A review by nathaliefanja
Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
2.0
A philosophical non-practical reflection. Newport demonstrates the danger of misused technology and social media. He provide some tips, however as an author who never fell into the rabbit hole himself —he never used social media, he never plays online gaming, and rarely texts— he lacks authority and credibility. There is no psychology on changing habits to embody the philosophy that he preaches.
For a practical and succinct method, I recommend instead Catherine Price’s book “How to break up with your phone”. Her approach is digestible, accessible, and effective.
Newport’s book will leave you feeling overwhelmed.
