About this episode

Deep Work - by Cal Newport

'Rules for focused success in a distracted world'

 

Deep Work is: "Professional activities performed in a state of distraction free concentration that push your cognitive capacities to the limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate"

 

Our culture is constantly pushing toward 'shallow work' and most are getting stuck and distracted. The good news is that there are massive economic or professional opportunities for the few who can resist this trend and prioritise depth.

Cal Newport will sell you on going deep so you can acquire the type of skills that will make you valuable in the modern economy.
