SPOS #665 – Cal Newport On Digital Minimalism

Welcome to episode #665 of Six Pixels of Separation. 

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #665 – Host: Mitch Joel. Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University. In addition to researching cutting edge technology, he also writes about the impact of these innovations on society. Cal is the author of six books, including the recently published bestseller, Digital Minimalism and (a personal favorite) Deep Work, which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace. Cal’s work has been published in over 20 languages and has been featured in many major publications. He’s also a frequent guest on NPR. In this episode, we did deeper into his work, and why we must all be more selective of the technologies that we bring into our personal and professional lives. Enjoy the conversation…
