The Content Diet

“Warrington … delivers a smart and even-keeled guide to developing a healthier relationship with online content. Rather than advocating a wholesale digital detox, Warrington urges readers to more closely examine what they scroll, stream, read, and share; identify the needs those habits satisfy; and deliberately choose material that leaves them informed, connected, and energized rather than depleted … The result is an accessible and practical invitation to forge a more intentional relationship with the digital world.”–Publishers Weekly
“The Content Diet is a breath of fresh air. Finally, a much-needed guide on how to cut through the noise and overwhelm of today and reclaim our time and attention. Ruby provides not only the “why” but also the “how” in a way that’s practical, clarifying and actually doable.“–Meg Josephson, bestselling author of Are You Mad At Me?
“Does for screen time what ‘sober curious’ did for drinking. A necessary conversation starter for our digital wellbeing.”–Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, MD, psychiatrist and best-selling author of Real Self Care
“How dare Ruby Warrington make a subject this serious so … fun? In a genre built on fear and finger-wagging, The Content Diet is a feel-good gut-punch for our Internet-addled brains. The chapters are so deliciously short our dopamine-fried attention spans don’t stand a chance. Warrington’s brilliant choice to frame our most compulsive habits through the lens of nutrition stays with you long after you’ve closed the tab, deleted the app, slammed shut the laptop. Which, for something about consuming less, feels exactly right.”–Jessica Elefante, author of Raising Hell, Living Well and founder of Folk Rebellion
“Ruby offers a thoughtful and provocative exploration of how the content we consume shapes our attention, relationships, creativity, and sense of self. The Content Diet challenges readers to become more intentional about what they allow into their minds and presents a compelling framework for reclaiming agency in an age of endless distraction.”–Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief
