It’s the season finale! This week, I’m talking to Cal Newport. Cal is the author of six books (including his latest, Digital Minimalism: Choosing A Focused Life In A Noisy World ) and an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. You won’t find him on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, but you can find more of his writing on calnewport.com.

In this episode, Cal and I discuss digital minimalism, the importance of solitude, the psychological and addictive effects of social media, creating leisure time sans screens, and why he never wants you to click that “like” button again.
