One of the most valuable skills in the modern economy is becoming increasingly rare.
"Deep work" - a term coined by author and professor Cal Newport - is the ability to focus on a cognitively demanding task. It is a skill that will allow you to quickly master complex information and achieve better results in less time. Deep work will help you improve in whatever you do and give you the sense of true satisfaction that comes from mastering a skill. In short, deep work is like a superpower in the increasingly competitive economy of the 21st century.
However, most people have lost the ability to go deep, spending their days in a whirlwind of emails and social media, without even realizing there is a better way.
With a mix of cultural criticism and practical advice, "Deep Work" shows the way to success in a world full of distractions.
