 Description: 

One of the most critical skills of our culture is becoming exceedingly scarce as an age. If you become a professional in this skill, the performance will be exceptional.

Deep work is a state of working on a job without interruption and in a state of deep thinking. It is an ability that helps people to easily learn the most complex details and achieve better outcomes in less time than expected without the skill. This would make you a more intelligent and efficient employee and offer the feeling of craftsmanship and success that comes with a job well done. In brief, deep work is a kind of super force that we as a culture has to build in order to remain successful in the twenty-first century. And still, most people have forgotten the desire to go deep-spending their days now in a hurried whirlwind of e-mail and social media, not even understanding there's a better way.

In Deep Work, and with Cal Newport, author and educator, the narrative is reversed on the value of influence in a linked era. Rather than denying the negative consequences of a diversion, he instead celebrates its positive influence. As Rob Nixon starts Part I, he makes the argument that this book will be significantly benefitted by breaking the book into 2 sections due to the breadth of coverage required. This man then he puts out an ability practice, into a collection of four rules, to help change your life, and your behaviours, to promote your logical thinking skills.

A combination of cultural critique and actionable tips, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through unforgettable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to concentrate his mind, to a social media leader purchasing a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the argument that most serious people should leave social media and that you should practise being bored. Deep Work is a step by step guide to establishing tasks that need deep "work" into your life. (lots of words).
