Very thought provoking book. I recommend everyone read it to at the very least challenge their assumptions and attitudes about their digital lives.

I am undertaking digital minimalism (perhaps to my folly) from the second half of the book, instead of following everything along in order with a digital declutter. Time will tell if I’m setting myself up for failure but based on things in my life I would rather focus on and nurture high quality activities instead of doing the digital detox first, partly because I’ve done detoxes before. Definitely what’s on my phone has changed and the challenge to choose high reward activities has been a good challenge.

I found the book very helpful, but I wish he would have addressed a little more about differing personality types in regard to this. Ultimately though he makes a pretty clear point that digital minimalism is variable and really a balance that has to be struck for each person, so I can live with that. I also found some of the psychology and background sections a bit tough to get through for me but I appreciated that he lays the groundwork for success.
