Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport - Paperback

Straightforward and inspiring!

I didnt read the book yet, but i have to give 5 star for the physical quality, good packaging and no damage..

nice book quality is also good

One of the great books that anyone can read. Highlights practical issues we face in our daily lives and how to overcome the distractions and be more effective. I really enjoyed this book.

The author takes a long time and many references to say : 1) make deliberate choices to do things that require focus and concentration, 2) get organized to cut activities that do not (even if it means not replying to emails, or cutting social media), and 3) - since so many people are stuck on social media other attention wasters - you will do better with less hours. This is important and often neglected advice, but you probably do not need a whole book to understand this.

A must read book for every aspiring and seasoned professional to take control of daily work flow.

Kitabın çoook kısa bir özeti: Sıkıldığınız zaman öğrenmeye başlarsınız... Harika bir kitap

Es un libro muy completo y realmente sirve para lo que es, si estás enfocado en una maestría o algún proyecto, pero no avanzas o no tienes resultados precisos, éste libro es idóneo para abrirnos la mente en qué estamos fallando. Por parte del vendedor no lo empacó debidamente y llegó con un ligero golpe, además unas manchas en la portada pero quizás sea de la imprenta.

This is a well-considered, balanced and persuasive book with many insights. While the author is in the sciences, I recommend this book to anyone in the arts who is looking to nurture their creativity and production. This book provides a foundational concept for people who want to build a body of work that creates a meaningful difference. The idea is that we do our best (deep) work when we have the habits and conditions that support, encourage and build that capacity. It is not for everybody. If you want 'hacks' or shortcuts, this is not the book for you. This book goes beyond the "hustle and grind" approach of putting in time and effort - it presupposes that you're willing to do both of those things. It asks – what will differentiate you then? That is the core goal this book will help you with - to sustain creating and producing work that is the best quality you're capable of (or even better than you've been capable of in the past). Newport spends the first half of the book providing the research and context to back up the argument that deep, focussed work is what will generate these breakthroughs. The second half of the book steps through the how. Each of the four rules is given with guidance and ideas for implementation that refers to the examples and context given in the first half of the book. This book is not for everybody, that's okay, just consider your needs, your work/art. If you need time to think or plan or create before you do what you do, this book is aimed at you. I'm grateful to Cal Newport for this book. There are things I have already been able to use as I have made this first read through, and other aspects that will take me longer to try, and test for my own needs. It was absolutely worth reading.
