"As a presence on the page, Newport is exceptional in the realm of
self-help authors."--New York Times Book Review
"As automation and outsourcing reshape the workplace, what new
skill do we need? The ability to do deep work. Cal Newport's
exciting new book is an introduction and guide to the kind of
intense concentration in a distraction-free environment that
results in fast, powerful learning and performance. Think of it as
calisthenics for your mind-and start your exercise program
today."--Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and When
"Cal Newport is a clear voice in a sea of noise, bringing science
and passion in equal measure. We don't need more clicks, more cats,
and more emojis. We need brave work, work that happens when we
refuse to avert our eyes."--Seth Godin, author of This is Marketing
and The Practice
"Cal Newport offers the most well-informed and astute collection of
practical advice I have seen for reclaiming one's mental
powers."--Matthew B. Crawford, author of The World Beyond Your Head
and Why We Drive
"Deep work is the killer app of the knowledge economy: it is only
by concentrating intensely that you can master a difficult
discipline or solve a demanding problem."--The Economist
"DEEP WORK accomplishes two considerable tasks: One is putting out
a wealth of concrete practices for the ambitious, without relying
on gauzy clich�s. The second is that Mr. Newport resists the
corporate groupthink of constant connectivity without seeming like
a curmudgeon."--Wall Street Journal
"DEEP WORK makes a compelling case for cultivating intense focus,
and offers immediately actionable steps for infusing more of it
into our lives."--Adam M. Grant, author of Originals and Think
Again
"Here lies a playbook for professionals of all stripes to achieve
true differentiation in a crowded talent marketplace. Cal Newport's
latest shows why he is one of the most provocative thinkers on the
future of work."--Ben Casnocha, co-author of The Start-Up Of
You
"Just when you think you already know this stuff, DEEP WORK hits
you with surprisingly unique and useful insights. Rule #3 alone,
with its discussion of the 'Any-Benefit' mind-set, is worth the
price of this book."--Derek Sivers, founder, Sivers.org
"This is a deep, not shallow, book which can enrich your
life."--The Globe and Mail
