The Beach Reader reviewed How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell
Review of 'How to Do Nothing' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was a good book to start the year with. It intersects with Jaron Lanier's criticisms of social media while also recognizing that complete disconnection is impractical, at best, for most of us. Her ideas for taking more control of your own attention, bringing it closer to home, and deepening it, are good and perhaps a good practice to enact for the new year.
