Every single social media user should read this book.
After many years being concerned about my social media/texting habits, I've finally found a scientific/philosophic demonstration of why many things that most people in my generation take it as “normal” behavior, are simply a destructive way of living life.
Really grateful of having bought and read this book without even thinking twice.
Nice reminders on why its important to moderate the use digital devices. Interesting comments on financial independence.
