Editor’s note A computer scientist writing about focus and how to work and live with technology. Digital Minimalism, a plan for taking back control from phones and social media, is his most read and best rated book, and a good start. Deep Work argues for long stretches of undistracted concentration; A World Without Email and Slow Productivity apply the same thinking to office life and rate a little lower.
