## Resource

Some argue that digital detox is the way to deepening the way we connect with ourselves and our loved ones. They say that being constantly connected can be much less liberating than one might think. Others say that digital minimalism is fashionable but ineffective. If yes, how? In this episode of Arguable, we explore what it means to pay attention instead of demanding it, to look within when distraction is the default mode, and to wander without feeling like you’ve lost the plot.
