Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

It's a good non fiction/self improvement book if I see myself trying at least some of the things he's written about instead of say rolling my eyes as the author and me clearly don't share a planet. He's persuasive and makes a pretty good case for deep work and then provides some interesting ideas of to try and get there.



One rolling ny eyes moment though was when one of his examples was described as “dissapearing to his island for two months every summer to work” and I was like “while his wife took care of kids and other details “?!! of course.
Having said that, after the early-twentieth century people examples most of his case studies are much more applicable to real life and some of them ( sadly, in the single digits percentage ) are women, too.
