"Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport is a book that advocates for a more intentional and mindful approach to our use of digital technologies. Newport argues that our current use of technology has become excessive and addictive, leading to a range of negative consequences such as distraction, anxiety, and social isolation.
The book presents a framework for adopting a digital minimalist lifestyle, which involves focusing on a small number of carefully chosen digital tools and platforms that support our values and goals. Newport encourages readers to take a 30-day digital declutter, during which they disconnect from all non-essential digital tools and activities, and then to selectively reintroduce only those that prove to be truly valuable.
