About this product
Product Information
Many modern kwledge workers w spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, isy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves your attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term 'deep work' on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve. Most of us, after all, are excruciatingly familiar with shallow work instead - distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. Newport began exploring the methods and mindset that foster a practice of distraction-free productivity at work, and w, in DEEP WORK, he shows how anyone can achieve this elusive state. Through revealing portraits of both historical and modern-day thinkers, academics and leaders in the fields of techlogy, science and culture, and their deep work habits, Newport shares an inspiring collection of tools to wring every last drop of value out of your intellectual capacity. He explains why mastering this shift in work practices is crucial for anyone who intends to stay ahead in a complex information ecomy, and how to systematically train the mind to focus. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions we can make in an increasingly distracted world.Product Identifiers

Need to Read
One chapter into this book and I have mapped out the areas in which this book is going to be life changing by causing study time to be super effective and work time to be productive. I had not realised how I had so severely hobbled myself from learning or being effective. I feel very lucky to have come across this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
