This book is a great guide for people looking to declutter their lives from the constant noise of technology and social media. For people who feel like they have become a slave to their devices. The author does not argue that all technology or social media should be thrown away, but instead helps the reader to reassess what is really important and then gradually reincorporating technology back into their lives to meet those needs.
