About this listen

Learn how to switch off and find calm - from the New York Times bestselling author of A World Without Email

Do you find yourself endlessly scrolling through social media or the news while your anxiety rises? Are you feeling frazzled after a long day of endless video calls?

In this timely audiobook, professor Cal Newport shows us how to pair back digital distractions and live a more meaningful life with less technology.

By following a 'digital declutter' process, you'll learn to:

  • Rethink your relationship with social media
  • Prioritize 'high bandwidth' conversations over low quality text chains
  • Rediscover the pleasures of the offline world

Take back control from your devices and find calm amongst the chaos with Digital Minimalism.

An impressive work. Author not only introduces the concept of digital minimalism, he also provides with a well chalked out roadmap to implement for those who wish and those who need a push towards this path.

I thoroughly enjoy the book. I feel that in today's world of compulsive consumption of information in autopilot mode, this book will help you take control and filter out the true values of your existence.

The out-of-the-box thinking, yet to prove it's real effectiveness in our day to day life.

Wonderful Book

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.

A Maximalist Review for Digital Minimalism

I used to have a misconception about Digital Minimalism and what it means. Not anymore. This book brought up good examples and techniques to employ technology instead of letting technology employ me.

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.

Steps described in this book might take time but will be really helpful in claiming the space in long run

Everyone staring at a screen needs to hear this
