46. Readers Are Leaders | Book Review of Deep Work by Cal Newport
In this episode, we review “Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” by Cal Newport. In this book, Newport argues that those who perform ‘deep work’ are more productive and are able to produce more efficiently than those who do not. In a distracted world, those who are able to resist distraction and work with the right amount of intensity and focus will be better situated to achieve success and find true satisfaction.
What is ‘deep work’, how does it improve your ability to compete and succeed in such a competitive world, and what does it mean for personal accomplishment? Why do we struggle with so much distraction in the modern age, and how can we overcome those distractions to be more focused and productive? Who is this book meant for, and why should you read it? We answer these questions and more in this episode, so be sure to tune in!
