This week, to encourage your conversations, we recommend checking out the following:
What We're Reading:
The world is inundated with news and noise, notifications and meetings—constant movement. But what if we found a way to focus our attention and reduce our distractions? Cal Newport's best-selling Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World is the perfect answer. Referred to as the Marie Kondo of technology, Newport provides tips and tricks for how to become the calm, happy people you know and envy by explaining how to use technology to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you. We strongly recommend getting Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World here.
