Earley offers a very helpful and practical framework for navigating the digital ecosystem in ways that lead to human flourishing. If you want to read a book that has real practical advice and ideas for structuring our lives in more humane ways individually and communally when it comes to technology, this is a book for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This book is such a refreshing approach to examining our daily life's habits and disciplines. *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024* This book is such a refreshing approach to examining our daily life's habits and disciplines. It is a tremendous practical guide that shows you how to get rid of bad habits and develop good weekly habits that will be productive and life changing. Earley emphasizes starting the day with who we are in God, and who we are becoming in God. Try one habit at a time. Try it with a small group as you learn together and from each other. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This book has already changed my life... *by L***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2019* I’ve been paying attention to the author’s work on habits since it was just a PDF he created and sent around to his friends. What has become The Common Rule has evolved from a personal attempt to live a saner life into a set of simple but powerful ideas that have helped me, personally, to live as I was designed to and to love God and love the people in my life better. Having those habits refined and presented in such a captivating and accessible way is a blessing, and one I’ve already shared with many others.Having previously learned and tried implementing most of the practices outlined in the book, I was particularly impressed by the appendices, which offer more detail about each of the habits. The section suggesting applications of the habits for different kinds of people (skeptics, families, artists, etc.) will be helpful even for those who don’t fit neatly into any of those categories, because they illuminate the intention behind each habit and will provide the spark for even more people to apply the habits in their unique situations.Earley has done a great service to any number of readers:- Those who have never encountered spiritual disciplines will get a glimpse of a different and better way to live.- Those who are familiar with spiritual disciplines will find an updated interpretation of Willard and Foster that addresses the worst temptations of the smartphone age.- Those who have lived without intention and unwittingly allowed their days, hours, and minutes to be shaped by advertisers and tech companies will get a much-needed wake up call.- Those who are already trying to lead lives of resistance and embrace will be strengthened and encouraged.A couple of quibbles:(1) Several of the habits are meant to be practiced in community, whether in a nuclear family, with roommates, or especially with close friends. The author sometimes seems to assume that everyone has those relationships already in their lives. Those who already struggle with loneliness may be disheartened and see some of the habits as out of reach.(2) In the section on curating media and limiting consumption, Earley suggests making and keeping lists of worthwhile shows, movies, etc., and suggests that anyone who has trouble with this can easily find lists of recommended media. While this may have been true in years past, it’s been a struggle to find lists of films or shows that buttress, edify, or appropriately challenge my (orthodox Christian) beliefs. Perhaps the desire was to focus readers on the habit rather than recommending films from a particular worldview, but it would have been nice to have some suggested starting points, even if it were just what the author uses or commends as worthwhile.Overall, The Common Rule does a beautiful job synthesizing a rich body of wisdom, observation of the human condition, and spiritual direction into an engaging and helpful framework for living differently from most of the people with whom we share our lives. I’m firmly convinced that a life shaped by God working through these habits (among others) is more joyful, more thriving, and more fulfilling than what most of us are currently trying. I’m on board![ Note: I was provided a promotional review copy of the book; however, I’ve already purchased three more for my own use and to gift to others. ] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/115622915-the-common-rule-habits-of-purpose-for-an-age-distraction](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/115622915-the-common-rule-habits-of-purpose-for-an-age-distraction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
