A book by Cal Newport that argues cultivating the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks is one of the most valuable skills in the modern knowledge economy. Newport provides a rigorous training regimen for developing deep work habits.
Deep Work by Cal Newport presents the thesis that the ability to perform deep work — professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push cognitive capabilities to their limit — is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable in today's economy.
The book provides specific techniques for building deep work capacity, including scheduling every minute of the day, quantifying the depth and shallowness of activities, and establishing shutdown rituals at the end of the workday.
