Cal Newport's book is a refreshing antidote to the poisonous cycle of "What's new? What's new?" that this digital, hyperconnected decade has seduced us into. Building on the economics of Henry David Thoreau, Cal's call for calmer waters, for meaningful and engaged interactions, is just what the world needs right now' Daniel Levitin, author of The Organized Mind 'I challenge you not to devour this wonderful book in one sitting. I certainly did, and I started applying Cal's ideas to my own life immediately.' Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism 'This book is an urgent call to action for anyone serious about being in command of their own life.' Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle Is the Way 'Cal Newport has discovered a cure for the techno-exhaustion that plagues our always-on, digitally caffeinated culture.' Joshua Fields Millburn, The Minimalists 'Digital Minimalism is the best book I've read in some time about our fraught relationship with technology. If you're looking for a blueprint to guide you as you liberate yourself from the shackles of email, social networks, smartphones and screens, let this book be your guide.' Adam Alter, author of Irresistible 'You're not the user, you're the product. Hang up, log off and tune in to a different way to be in the world. Bravo, Cal. Smart advice for good people.'Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing
