Summary

Digital minimalists are the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives. What we need is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions. Here Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. By rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, you will feel less overwhelmed and more in control. -- adapted from jacket
