Summary:
"One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results. Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep - spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. Professor Cal Newport presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four rules, for transforming your mind and habits. He takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories - from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air - and the no-nonsense advice that most serious professionals should quit social media and practice being bored. A guide for anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world."--Provided by publisher.
