It sounds trite, but this is the most important book I've read recently (maybe ever). It sounds even more trite to say this, but it changed my life. I've spent 10 years increasingly addicted to or hypnotized by social media (Facebook in particular) and my anxiety was through the roof. I found I was so much happier and more at peace when I took long breaks from it, but felt I couldn't possibly stop using it altogether, or even minimize my use to the degree necessary. After reading this book, I know why I experienced this misery, and how I can make digital minimalism an ongoing practice. I want to recommend this book to everyone I know - it's that critical.

This is an accessible and quick read, but its content is of the utmost importance to anyone who uses the internet in general, and social media in particular.
