"Cal Newport's 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
"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
"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
"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
"I hope that everyone who owns a mobile phone and has been
wondering where their time goes gets a chance to absorb the ideas
in this book. It's amazing how the same strategy can work for both
financial success and mental well-being: Put more energy into what
makes you happy, and ruthlessly strip away the things that don't."
-Peter Adeney, aka Mr. Money Mustache
"Cal's call for meaningful and engaged interactions is just what
the world needs right now." -Daniel Levitin, author of The
Organized Mind
"What a timely and useful book! It's neither hysterical nor
complacent - a workable guide to being thoughtful about digital
media. It's already made me rethink some of my media use in a
considered way. " -Naomi Alderman, New York Times
bestselling author of The Power
"Digital Minimalism is a welcome invitation to reconsider
how we want to use our screens rather than letting the screens (and
the billionaires behind them) make the call." -KJ Dell'Antonia,
author of How to be a Happier Parent
"Simple, insightful, and actionable, this philosophy provides a
sorely needed framework for thriving in the digital age. It will
transform many lives for the better, including my own." -Ryder
Carroll, New York Times bestselling author of The Bullet
Journal Method
