Cal Newport is both highly knowledgeable & humble. Paula Pant is a most wonderful host. Superb interview as always 👌

I ditched social media - excluding YT and Pinterest - and I couldn't be happier. Who cares how others live their lives? Not me.

Poor man has a cold and still did the interview. Kudos to him.

Thanks!!! I have used Dr. Cal Newport's ideas and concepts for my students and for myself. Greetings from Mexico City!!!!

Started deleting apps and organizing my phone after listening 👍

Great interview - thank you!

My first time here. Loved it!

Excellent...thank you..

Good summary at the end much appreciated

thank you

I took this guys advice 2 years ago to quit social media, deleted my Facebook.....was great, but I am a musician and I actually lost a long running residency because of it....then starting listening to garyvee who advised me to get back on it......I did and I wasted a lot of time last year on Facebook/KZread.....now I am looking to find a happy medium..,..cal is totally right but it’s quite a complicated conversation....for example, I really shouldn’t be watching this video now and making this comment, but I am getting some reminders about cal’s work because of it.....hmmmmmm

Only use the platforms that promote your brand and give you the best ROI, but consuming other people's content does nothing but ruin your life. I'm doing a 30-day technology fast as well so...

Digital Minimalism, not Digital Deletion. Reduce our dependency on it & only use what we need.

I love his work

Thanks for the enlightening concepts

Great interview

I think so :)

I’m a musician as well and I understand your comment. I am here from his interview with Lex Friedman. I have several observations. First the response about using KZread and Facebook as tools works if you strictly follow your community and use them to increase our capital. KZread is a great value in learning to be a better musician. I love Steely Dan and can learn much from, for example, their deconstruction video’s or how to play a part. Facebook is almost useless at this point but I can pick and choose from highlights of events I’m interested in without engaging in click bait. I find he should work on his oral presentation, tone, speed, pausing for effect. His manner is professorial and way too hard to follow even without cold. The content is good but superficial without enough quality substitutes. He talks of curated news, show me examples three years later or slow food? Without quality alternatives we will back slide especially in a sense of needing social engagement. He likes to use just musicians as examples. I would take the analogy further. It’s one thing to practice and get better, an easy example. On the other hand there are many other aspects like playing live a lot especially in front of people with feedback or in studio. None of this is easy or trivial. Like the solitude part also sleep and dreaming essential. ;> intentionally and motive matter.

He’s not right about the future of teens on social media. Parents are exercising absolutely no control. It’s going to be as bad as it is today. And trust me, it’s bad today.

Unfortunately KZread is the #1 app I need to delete from my phone. This is gonna be tough lol...

👍👍👍👍👍.

No phones at my dinner table.
