Digital minimalism

Tame addictive technologies and reclaim your time and concentration. From the author of the groundbreaking book, Deep Work.

Digital minimalists are happy people who don't experience the fear of missing out in the online world. They don't have the compulsive need to constantly check their phone because they know which activities are meaningful and bring them real satisfaction.
This time, the author of the groundbreaking book Deep Work sounds the alarm about addictive behaviour in the digital world that has creepingly become the norm. Cal Newport convincingly shows that the compulsive use of social media and other digital advances does not provide us with any deeper benefit, but instead robs us of time, focus, and fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
The book makes you realize that we haven't really had a chance to learn to resist something as enticing as the ever-accessible and ever-fun online world. After all, the technology that makes this possible is little more than a decade old. We have become guinea pigs for new media, we have enjoyed it, but now it is time to get rid of our petty addictions. In sum, they steal dozens of hours of our lives every month.
And don't worry, it's not the much-hyped digital detox where you're utopianly forced to disconnect completely; there is no reason to give up what is useful, only, as with everything: everything in moderation. Cal will teach you.

They wrote about Digital Minimalism

"Digital minimalism is the Marie Kondo of the mobile phone world."

Evening Standard

„If you're looking for advice on how to free yourself from the shackles of ubiquitous email, social media, smartphones and screens, let this book guide you."

Adam Alter, author of Irresistible

"Digital minimalism is actually much more achievable than the various concepts of stubborn defence against technology, which are everywhere and which force people to throw their mobile phones into the river to save their brains while there is still time."

"You are not a user, but a product. Hang up, check out and tune in to a different way of life. Well done, Cal. Smart advice for good people."

Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing

In the book you will learn, among other things:

- How to do a digital cleanup and how to set rules for using technology afterwards.
- For whom is our attention a source of profit and how does the so-called. attention economy.
- How many tens of hours a month can you gain through digital minimalism compared to the average Facebook user.
- Why digital minimalism is more effective than the utopian pursuit of complete digital abstinence.
- How to arrange regular doses of solitude and get the concentration you need
Digital minimalism is a proven way of using technology to focus on a small number of carefully selected digital activities for the sake of your values.
