Mind & Inner LifeInformation Diet

Information Diet

Your mind is partly the product of what you repeatedly consume. The quality, source, and volume of information you take in shapes how you think, what you believe, and what you're capable of noticing. This book examines why information diet matters and how to manage it deliberately.

How to audit your digital consumption and redesign your relationship with technology deliberately.

Building your information system

A deliberate structure for what to consume, from where, and how often — replacing the algorithm with a personal curation system.
