Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport

hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

3.5

I am generally apprehensive about self-help books because I find most of them to be superfluous. Though this one had a few sections I thought could have been trimmed or cut entirely, I do think Cal Newport's writing style is very accessible and enjoyable to read, and I think his insights about our current cultural obsession with busyness are often spot on. Aside from the final section, which really felt more applicable to engaging in creative work than to slow productivity specifically, there is a lot of really sound advice and guidance here for how to incorporate the concept of slow productivity into your daily work.
