Has the urge to pick up your phone become a constant
nervous twitch? Do you feel like your concentration has
been dulled by non-stop scrolling? Our addiction to
technology is leaving us exhausted and overwhelmed. But it
doesn't have to be that way. Cal Newport shows us how to
pare back digital distractions and live better with less
technology. He introduces us to digital minimalists -- the
calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without
furtive glances at their phones or obssessively
documenting everything they eat -- and reveals how to live
more intentionally in our tech-saturated world. By
following a thirty-day 'digital declutter' process, you'll
learn to rethink your relationship with social media,
prioritize meaningful conversations over low-quality text
chains and rediscover the pleasures of the offline world.
