Digital exhaustion : simple rules for reclaiming your life / by Leonardi, Paul M.,1979-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Technology may make our lives easier, but it's also a major cause of exhaustion. You know the feeling: The aimless scrolling. The constant notifications filling your screen. The sinking realization that no matter how many messages you respond to, how many posts you read, or how much data you sort through, you can never stay ahead of it. Unplugging is not a long-term solution. In today's world, if you want to keep your job, participate in society, and maintain meaningful relationships, you can't escape your many apps and devices. The good news is that there is an achievable path to reducing your digital exhaustion. Paul Leonardi studies how real people use technology. He offers healthier approaches that won't fragment your attention and deplete your cognitive and emotional reserves. Many of the changes are simple yet surprisingly effective, like waiting longer to respond and making sure you're using the right tool for your task. He also explains the emotional traps that lead us into dysfunctional relationships with our technology, and how to escape them. With Leonardi as your guide, you can build stronger connections, be more creative and productive, and create the mental space to reclaim your energy and your life."--Publisher.

Digital minimalism : choosing a focused life in a noisy world / by Newport, Cal,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this idea to our personal technology. It's the key to living a focused life in an increasingly noisy world. In this timely and enlightening book, the bestselling author of Deep Work introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives, and attempts to unplug completely are complicated by the demands of family, friends and work. What we need instead is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions. Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude. He then shares strategies for integrating these practices into your life, starting with a thirty-day "digital declutter" process that has already helped thousands feel less overwhelmed and more in control. Technology is intrinsically neither good nor bad. The key is using it to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you. This book shows the way.

If you don't like this, I will die : an influencer memoir / by Tilghman, Lee,author.;
"A powerful and illuminating memoir that exposes the stark, rarely seen, and often grim reality of life as an influencer. Lee Tilghman -- also known as @LeeFromAmerica -- was one of the first Instagram wellness influencers. On the grid, her life seemed perfect. But behind her carefully curated posts, Tilghman was in crisis, suffocating from the unrelenting demands of keeping up her online facade. If You Don't Like This, I Will Die is a sharp, self-aware look at life inside the influencer economy and a relatable story for anyone who has struggled with the unreasonableness of online expectations. With reports showing more than half of Gen Z aspiring to be influencers, nearly three out of five teen girls experiencing “persistent sadness and hopelessness,” and the US Surgeon General calling for a social media warning label, Tilghman's memoir couldn't be more timely and necessary"--Dust jacket flap.
