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.

Simple concept, well structured argument.
The concept is simple but the compelling aspect is the breadth and structure of the evidence. ‘High quality leisure’ in lieu of non-enriching scrolling activities is a solid foundation - results can be observed real world.
Provided me with the impetus to weigh up pros and cons of social media and digital “connectedness”- not something we ever stopped to consider.
