An interesting, well explained, helpful book about the usefulness of deep work and ways to organize your time in order to get more deep work done. I'm interesting in reading Newport's other books, especially his books for students.

اگه تصمیم گرفتید بیش از این وقتتون رو تلف نکنید، می‌تونید خوندن این کتاب رو شروع کنید.
همه چیزش خوب بود از قبیل ترجمه، لحن نویسنده، میزان توضیحات و.. فقط در چند مورد مثال ها بیش از حد بود.
بهترین توصیه ای که می‌شه در مورد این کتاب کرد اینه که به طور فشرده و حداکثر در طول یک ماه تمومش کنید؛ چون هر وقفه ای که بیش از ۲۴ ساعت طول بکشه در حین خوندن این کتاب، می‌تونه تا ماه ها ادامه پیدا کنه.

Avoid using the internet for entertainment. It ain’t that deep

Cool book, definitely some fun idealistic ideas

I am struggling with whether I dislike this book or if I dislike my lack of commitment to deep work. Reading this book and “How to Break Up With Your Phone” in the same month was illuminating and many of the ideas proposed in each book are complimentary. I also liked his references to one of my favorite books, “Getting Things Done”. I may reconsider and come back to my star rating on this one

Quite a self-help book that focus more on the practicalities, rather than empty promises and platitudes. He even pointed out several working styles (that seemed totally contrasting each other) could be attributed to deep work doctrines and acknowledges the outliers. It took me forever to read through the first part (why deep work), but the latter is much easier to consumed (and hopefully, implemented in near future)

It wasn’t until the last third that it addressed actionable and realistic steps. I’d love to take two weeks away from my life to think deeply, but that’s unlikely to happen. Also, aside from JK Rowling, all of the examples were men. I would have appreciated more diverse representation.
