Cal Newport's "Digital Minimalism" explores the pervasive impact of digital technology on our lives. 

The text argues that unrestricted online activity can negatively affect psychological well-being, fostering feelings of inadequacy and negativity. 

Newport suggests that technologies are often engineered to be addictive, mirroring strategies used by the tobacco industry. 

He proposes a minimalist philosophy to intentionally use technology, transforming it from a source of distraction into a tool for a fulfilling life. 

The text explores ways to achieve a balance, including solitude, high-quality leisure, and real-world social interactions.
