Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Like his previews one, Cal Newport managed to write an amazing book about the skill that's super valuable in today's society. Deep Work, as he calls it, is the ability to work on something with full attention and concentration over long periods of time.

In our current times, with all the technology around us, in the midst of social networks and numerous other tools for distraction, one who develops an ability to work on something with undivided attention and focus will be rewarded with things that just aren't possible to have otherwise.

Nearly all the great people throughout the history, who have created something meaningful and valuable, worked deeply in one way or another. Craftsmen mindset and deep work abilities are essential to living non-distracted and growth-oriented life. According to Cal, your abilities to produce meaningful work will skyrocket, as did his, after implementing the strategies and techniques that this book talks about.

There are numerous case studies and stories told here which seem to be reasonable arguments to embody this new (or rather, quite old if one thinks about it) philosophy.

This book will make you think about your everyday working habits and the potential of optimizing them. Also, it will inspire you and make you see the possibilities of what you can achieve if you simply undertake the process of making your work deeper. I believe that nobody will want to return to distracted and unconcentrated lifestyle, after tasting the results of making one's work deeper.
