A World Without Email by Cal Newport
5.0
There are a lot of lies permeating American work culture and I have internalized all of them. The previous book I reviewed (Laziness Does Not Exist) helped me realize a few of these lies and why they are bullshit.
This book took that a step further. I thought it was a personal failure that I felt constantly stressed, on edge and unable to focus during my career, but it turns out: our psychology as humans is not built for the always on, constant pinging work culture we have created.
This is not a personal failing. It's part of the design. This book is amazing at analyzing our current culture, what works, what doesn't and how we can fix it. Absolutely phenomenal!
