Digital Minimalism

Maybe this book isn't for me, given my lack of social media usage. If my only issue with it were it's inability to be relevant to me, I'd put it higher and assume I'm the issue. However, as with a few other of Mr. Newport's works, I'm driven away by the unnecessary length. I'm guilty to have skimmed the last 40% of this work, primarily because there are only so many times I can hear that humans have social needs that can be entertained in other ways before I'm ready to quit. I do have an attention span, I promise XD I'm just not particularly interested in pushing through a excessively lengthy work on a subject I'm only slightly interested in. So, I suppose, if I were pathologically addicted to my phone, and desperate for a way out, this book might get a higher ranking. For a generally disconnected college guy, this just didn't need to be a book. If it were a series of articles, or a video, or half as long, I'd think highly of it. In its current form, I simply can't recommend it to anyone addicted to their phone. Their attention span probably won't be that long, either.
