In addition to arguing why minimalism is a necessary answer to our increasing digital discontentment, I take the reader inside the vibrant subculture of digital minimalists who have already found great satisfaction and authentic meaning in taking back control of their technological lives - highlighting the key principles they use to succeed in adopting this philosophy. ![]() To solve this problem I propose a philosophy of technology use called digital minimalism in which you radically reduce the time you spend staring at screens, focusing on a small number of digital activities that strongly support things you deeply value, and then happily ignoring the rest. In it, I argue that we have been too casual in adopting alluring new technologies, and as a result our quality of life is diminishing. After it came out, many readers began asking me about the equally important impact of these tools on their personal lives. My last book, Deep Work, tackled the impact of new technologies on the world of work. I’m excited to officially announce my new book, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World, which will be published on February, 5th. ![]()
