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

2.0

I had written a review and goodreads closed on me.

Let’s see if I can remember it.

Newport makes some good points, but for people who feel isolated in their current physical communities, social media can be a lifeline for those who mentally need a community to relate to. Me. It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem it’s me.

He is an extreme who doesn’t use socials and minimizes tech, but that’s not necessarily something many people can even strive to do. Basically take this with a grain of salt, try and find balance with real relationships outside of devices, minimize screen time. Everything we’ve already heard before.
