Cal Newport

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.

Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World

Digital Minimalism

In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

  IPOTEZA MUNCII PROFUNDE: abilitatea de a îndeplini o muncă profundă devine din ce în ce mai rară și, implicit, din ce în ce mai valoroasă în economia noastră. Drept urmare, cei foarte puțini care cultivă și, mai apoi, transformă această abilitate în esența vieții lor profesionale, vor prospera. Deep Work are două țeluri: primul este de a convinge cititorii că ipoteza muncii profunde este adevărată. Cel de‑al doilea, este de a-i învăța pe cititori să profite de această realitate, antrenându‑și mintea și transformându‑și obiceiurile de lucru prin plasarea muncii profunde în centrul vieții lor profesionale.

  În loc să susțină că perturbările sunt nocive, Cal Newport celebrează forța opusului acestora în noua sa carte, Deep Work, pe care o împarte în două părți. Mai întâi, demonstrează că, în aproape orice profesie, cultivarea unei etici a muncii profunde va produce beneficii majore. Ulterior, prezintă cititorilor patru reguli prin care pot deprinde abilitatea de a se concentra intens, transformându-și astfel mintea și obiceiurile.

  Deep Work este un ghid indispensabil tuturor celor care caută succesul focalizat într-o lume a perturbărilor.
