ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In "Digital Minimalism," by Cal Newport, the author explores how technology, while beneficial, has created a culture of addiction and distraction. The book argues that many people are losing their autonomy and the ability to live a meaningful life because of their constant engagement with digital devices. Newport introduces the concept of digital minimalism, a philosophy that encourages people to be more intentional about their technology use. It's a call to reevaluate your relationship with technology, not by abandoning it, but by using it thoughtfully to support your values and goals. The book offers practical strategies, like the digital declutter, to help readers regain control over their digital lives and prioritize real-world experiences.

The Little Book of Restorative...

Rachel Roth Sawatzky, Mikayla...

A restorative justice approach to addressing sexual misconduct in colleges and universities. Written for college and university practitioners and administrators, The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Campus Sexual Harms: A Holistic Approach to Address Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence for Colleges and Universities combines explanation, justification, and contextualization for the application of restorative justice (RJ) for sexual misconduct, including for alleged Title IX violations. This book outlines considerations, action steps, and best practices for campuses that are interested in exploring the successful implementation of RJ for sexual misconduct. The authors' backgrounds as practitioners within the higher education context grounds this work with personal reflections, experiences, and stories. This book provides a primer for colleges and universities who seek to move campus culture in a more restorative direction generally, and specifically for practitioners interested in exploring the possibility of amending existing sexual misconduct policies, including investigative-adjudicatory Title IX policy and procedures, through a restorative justice informed lens. Readers will explore why it makes all the difference (for both students and administrators) to add RJ resolution options.
