Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have been toying with this idea for a long time and personally had a few setbacks that withhold me from attempting another digital detox. I do think that this book makes the strongest case and it came to me on a time that was right and felt I could implement the key principles directly. The examples were great and diverse, the rest of the ‘theory’ was well-supported and concisely formulated. Compared to other books of the same topic, I found it rather actionable and motivating to take steps!
For sure, I will buy a physical copy of this book, so I can browse through it at a later moment in time. It would act as a reminder of the direction I want to move in and since it takes multiple cycles to get closer to this more preferred state of intentional living, the chances are high that I would want to re-read it in the future. Best self-help book that I have read this past year!
