Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
by Cal Newport
inspiring
slow-paced
It turns out I am already doing a lot of deep work, so that was a nice surprise!
Anyway, this book follows similar ideas to the Digital Minimalism from the same author, but it is vastly inferior to it in everything. It is less concise, it rambles on too much and the points overstay their welcome. It is less relatable, author feels less connected to his audience and you can feel that success has affacted their outlook. The book feature less average Joe's and girl next doors and more Carl Jung's and Bill Gates.
It is all more idea focused instead of practical approach focused, do it ends up feeling like a collection of ideas that doesn't stick as much
I'll give it a higher rating than I feel like I should give, because it is more valuable if you haven't read Digital Minimalism.
