One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results.

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will 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 super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.

In DEEP WORK, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, DEEP WORK takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying 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 claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. DEEP WORK is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

读后感

Deep Work讲的深度工作的状态的第一步是清楚认识到什么样的工作算是Deep Work？在作者看来，创作一本书，算是Deep Work，在科学领域做出一个新的发现和发明是Deep Work，为一个很难的考试学习和准备，创作音乐，创立和运营一家公司，读一篇复杂的文章，以及为某一项体育运动而...

有件事，我一直印象很深刻。 逢年过节，家里总是聚满了很多亲戚，一般情况是大人们凑两桌麻将，小孩子们在一旁吃喝玩闹。那年我刚上小学，有个远房亲戚第一次把他上高中的儿子带到我们家里过节，印象中这个哥哥话不多，礼貌地问完好，就自己不声不响地坐在一旁翻书，还时不时地...  

美国专栏作家巴拉唐德·瑟斯顿(Baratunde Thurston)也许是和互联网关系最紧密的一个人。在一年之中，他发了1518条脸书消息；11541条推特，处理59409封邮件。 回顾这种“永远在线”的生活时，他感到筋疲力尽，就像是每日被煎炒烹炸，最后浇上辣椒油出锅一样。 2012年年底，他...  

用户评价

书中说的道理都明白，可就是需要来碗刚出锅的鸡汤补一补。读完后估计能专注学习个一个月，等意志力残了就再换本鸡汤读读。

依旧喜欢这种有理论 有例子的nonfiction。虽然很多tactic读博的时候自己也摸索过，但系统梳理一下还是有助于网瘾青年如我的自我监控...高质量的时间和社交关系是重点。

简单几句话硬是能写出一本书，也是服气的。

前面写得倒胃。还是那种——不仅前辈高人，而且当代贤达，甚至阿猫阿狗，用了我的办法，已经发财致富了呦。。。可以不要这么套路吗。。。
