My first audiobook

This was my first ever audiobook, and I quite enjoyed it. Definitely a great read for anyone looking to improve their relationship with technology and social media. It’s quite interesting, especially the snippets of how technology and social media developed to where they are today - like the origin of the “like” button on facebook - and the aspects of how these companies tap into the psychology of consumers. It contains a lot of suggestions and actionable steps, and I’m definitely looking forward to implementing some aspects of this book going forward.
The introduction is narrated by the author himself (which was a nice touch) and the main narrator of the rest of the book is also very solid.

A Maximalist Review for Digital Minimalism

It's kind of irony that I listened to this beautiful book using a smart cellphonen which author discourages and it's a testimony as well, because I don't want to use digital smartphone anymore. it's a tool book or practice book - I am currently in a digital diet with no social media consumption for a month and already repeating rewards with loss of waste weight in time currency that made me fat and slow and dumb minded. I don't why people call it self help - it's much much beyond like a soul help.

Apt to the Needs of Today

Cal Newport describes in this book what everyone with a smartphone (or any other device) must know. Definitely recommended if –
1. You have a phone or digital addiction.
2. You feel bored and cannot be in the company of your own thoughts.
3. You are a parent.

Transformative Insights: A Journey Beyond Digital Clutter

Embarking on a journey with ‘Digital Minimalism’ by Cal Newport and ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear has been nothing short of transformative for me. These books, with their profound insights and actionable strategies, served as the catalysts I needed to re-evaluate and significantly alter my digital consumption habits and beyond.

‘Digital Minimalism’ challenged me to rethink my relationship with social media and technology, prompting a mindful approach to digital engagement that emphasizes quality over quantity. It’s a call to action for reclaiming our time and attention from the grips of mindless scrolling and to realign our tech use with our core values.

Complementing this, ‘Atomic Habits’ provided the blueprint for making those small, incremental changes that lead to lasting habits. It’s not just about breaking the cycle of digital overuse; it’s about establishing a foundation for continuous personal growth and improvement.

Together, these books have empowered me to let go of deeply ingrained habits, some of which I’ve held onto for decades. The combination of Newport’s philosophical guidance and Clear’s practical advice has been a game-changer, setting me on a path towards a more intentional and fulfilling life.

For anyone feeling overwhelmed by the digital noise or looking to make profound changes in their life, I cannot recommend these books enough. They offer more than just a way out of the digital maze; they guide you towards a life of purpose, productivity, and peace.
