In association with Penguin Business and Campaign, Zone was delighted to host a virtual Book Club with professor Cal Newport, author of New York Times bestseller Digital Minimalism — Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.
Do you find yourself endlessly scrolling through social media or the news while your anxiety rises? Are you feeling frazzled after a long day of long video calls?
In this timely book, professor Cal Newport shows us how to pair back digital distractions and live a more meaningful life with less technology.
By following a ‘digital declutter’ process, you’ll learn to:
- Rethink your relationship with social media
- Prioritise ‘high bandwidth’ conversations over low quality text chains
- Rediscover the pleasures of the offline world
Check out the video below where Cal offers valuable insight from his book, available from Penguin Business. The conversation is facilitated by Edward Craig, head of content labs at Campaign.
