Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport
3.0
4 stars if read after Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
Book spends a lot of time justifying why "deep work" is needed. If you subscribe to the philosophy early on, it becomes repetitive. How to apply is a smaller portion but still offers some really good options/choices to implement. However, the choices don't really explain how to overcome pitfalls when trying to implement the options/choices. You gain some pitfall remedies if you read Cal's Digital Minimalism first.
