<b>A <i>New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, </i>and <i>USA Today </i>bestseller<br><br>"Newport is making a bid to be the Marie Kondo of technology: someone with an actual plan for helping you realize the digital pursuits that do, and don't, bring value to your life."--Ezra Klein, Vox<br><br>Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough.

They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction.<br><br>Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world.
