In an era of “always-on” connectivity, we are reaching a breaking point of digital burnout. In Digital Exhaustion, Paul Leonardi, a leading expert on technology and work, argues that the problem isn’t the technology itself, but how we use it. We treat every digital tool with the same urgency, leading to a fragmented mind and physical fatigue. Leonardi provides a science-backed framework consisting of “Simple Rules” to help readers categorize their digital interactions. By teaching us how to set boundaries, choose the right medium for the message, and reclaim our focus, this book offers a practical roadmap to using technology as a tool for productivity rather than a source of constant stress. It is an essential guide for anyone looking to sustain their energy and mental health in a hyper-connected professional world.
