Download Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World AudioBook Free
One of the very most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you will achieve amazing results. Profound work is the ability to concentrate without distraction on the cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows someone to quickly excel at complicated information and produce greater results in less time. Profound work can make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our more and more competitive 21st-century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go profound - spending their days and nights instead in a frantic blur of email and cultural media, not even realizing there's an improved way. In Deep Work, writer and teacher Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a linked age. Rather than arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its complete opposite. Dividing this publication into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any vocation, cultivating a profound work ethic will produce considerable benefits. Then presents a demanding training regimen, offered as some four "rules", for transforming your mind and habits to aid this skill. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the listener on the quest through memorable experiences - from Carl Jung building a rock tower in the woods to focus his head to a cultural advertising pioneer buying a round-trip business-class ticket to Tokyo to write a book clear of distraction in the air - and no-nonsense advice, like the claim that most serious pros should quit cultural advertising and that you should practice being bored stiff. Deep Work can be an indispensable guide for anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.
