DIGITAL MINIMALISM by Cal Newport | Core Message 

I don't have social media, but felt shocked to just now realise I read with a kindle, run with a podcast, do chores with an audiobook, study with a computer, and "relax" with youtube.. - I tell myself I'm being productive, but the thought of doing any of these without a device.. ouch! This is clearly a discomfort I need to address - thank you x

Week One: Spend one hour a day alone without your devices Long walk or hobby without a digital device Where will you go for the hour to find solitude? What time of the day will you go there? Week Two: Stop using devices during downtime 1. Demanding activities is more restorative than passive consumption. (By expending energy you gain energy. You have to spend money to make money ) =Write down two demanding activities, like exercising and learning a new hobby 1. Using skills to produce valuable things in the physical world is more stimulating and rejuvenating than spending time in the digital world. =Write down two skill-based activities that produce physical things, like cooking or gardening 1. Real-world structured social interrelations are more enjoyable and rewarding than social interaction on devices. =Write down two real-world social activities Week Three Be an anti-texter 1. Turn off notifications 2. Select three times a day that you will respond to the massages 3. Call them is better than sending infinite massages

You're literally one of the very few channels I like to watch, I barely use RU-vid, but I always look for reviews on books I want to read, I was doubting about this one but I think I've just found the book that I'll read this week.

The Buddha praised "fewness of desires" a lot and the value of that hasn't changed a bit. A bit of restraint when it comes to social media can have great benefits

This is one of the most important books of the last 5 years. Without digital minimalism, people will become electronic slaves.

Always look forward to these gems of advice to add value to life. (Many people outside USA have no interest whatsoever in baseball and especially American football, so analogies here don't mean much). Keep inspiring ✨

*Most people sit around and wait for inspiration, just some rare people get up and get to work.* *I may not know you personally, but I believe in you that you will succeed!* 🙏

I was struggling with phone addiction, and this video is on the time. Thanks

This is splendid information. If the subject matter captivates you, a book of similar tone would be fitting. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

Problem is, ghosting OR calling after a text is universally thought of as rude and clueless in modern social life.

This book literally changed many people's lives including my own, I even had to make a video on it

Beautiful message explained in a beautiful way. Thanks for the video.

This book is also very good at explaining how all those digital devices are engineered to be as addictive as possible. And just how bad they really are for you.

I always watch youtube videos from this Channel with Full Attention because I know I'll definitely get some Actionable steps which are easy to start and will change life for Good. Thanks for your Videos :)

Thank you so much... really concise and solid presentation...I'm gonna reimplement this philosophy again, I didn't do it right last time.. thanks for your fresh take on this...Keep up the quality and simplicity 💛🔥

Gosh as a society we now need books to tell us to get off our phones and be in the real world!

This is the hyperbolic time chamber of youtube channels

when it comes to book review or summary i always look forward to you.

Excellent video!

Thank you Nathan, by now I knew very well my devices control me; I love the ideas from the book you shared. I believe they will be very helpful. Thank you for the page in my email. Best regards.

I might apply this to my one hour a day $5000 a week day trading business

Hey you’ve read and summarized so many books. What’s your favorite book and favorite lesson from all the books?

Phone calls are even more interrupting than texting, I hate calls... and i'm very productive with texting though.

Great core message. I appreciate it man.

The only way to avoid it is to not buy a 'smart' phone. It's addictive like smoking or alcoholism. Cutting down doesn't work because the forces at work will win in the long run. Technology is just improved means to an unimproved end.

Thank you for this, I’m subscribing.

Excellent book report. Thanks for sharing!!

good summary

You should do 'Trust us, we're the experts' by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber next.

love this author

Love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Is there ever a book that you don't highly recommend? Great summary but challenging to decipher which books to actually read.

Need to know this, thank you

Well presented. I love it

anti-Texting challenge sounds great, but that’s the primary way my boss communicates.

REVIEW VIDEO REQUEST: The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership Thank you.

Finally 🙌🏼

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing

Review "Dopamine Detox" book

I am sharing it with some others. all the best :)

6:35 this is the only part of the book I disagree with. If you have a long driving commute, calling and driving while having an intense conversation leads to distracted driving, especially during rush hour when you have to be conscious of stopping and adjusting asap when needed. If it's a public transport commute, having a long conversation on your phone is really inconsiderate of the other passengers around you, who have to listen to you for the entire hour+ commute.

Can you do THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND by joseph murphy

What im gonna do after i do this things?

Dayummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

Hey man, can I ask if you read these books in full and not from summarised blogs, like other youtubers I stopped following?

Great summary as usual. Have you tried reading Healthy Brain, Happy Life by Wendy Suzuki?

3:30

Watching this on my downtime

Can you make your videos louder? I listen to them everyday during commuting in my car and they are too quiet I can't hear them from my car's motor

brother i have almost watched all your videos and they are really helpfull but as i have developed a habit of watching two videos of your channel there are no new videos please if you could upload videos more quickly , that would be helpfull

Please brother if there is book for leadership

I would re-read Deep Work rather than this new work based on this review. Also: if you have a long commute you have an opportunity to have alone time and for example gain an appreciation for classical music. Don't waste such a gift by making phone calls which (even hands free) raise the risk of a car accident.

Signal is better than WhatsApp.

calling while driving is a bad advice dont take it

Disappointed. These are opinions of the author nothing else.
