Practical Advices to be a digital make minimalist

This book is definitely an eye opener to think about our digital activities. Cal provided practical advices on how to embrace the digital minimalism.

This book asked me the question of the real use of social media.

Some valuable strategies drags on.

This book began well by really breaking down the problem and giving useful strategies for overcoming it, however began to drag on and ironically lost focus in the second half, blaming tech for things such as the rise of teen anxiety with little to no evidence. Ultimately, while I think there is a lot of wisdom in this book, it's quite possibility an overcorrection that blames tech for too much. I personally think technology is revealing humanities shortcomings rather than creating them.

Import message in these times

Do not trust that social media is there to serve you and improve your happiness.
