Synopsis "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World"

Master one of our economy's most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this "exciting" book (Daniel H. Pink) from an "exceptional" author (New York Times Book Review). 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. 1. Work Deeply 2. Embrace Boredom 3. Quit Social Media 4. Drain the Shallows 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.

Libro de muy buena calidad y realmente bueno para quienes buscan sobresalir en su campos, si tu trabajo depende de alcanzar tu máxima capacidad cognitiva y hacer cosas que sean difíciles de replicar, o si sientes que las distracciones se están llevando mucho de tu tiempo, el libro es para ti, se siente casi como una lectura técnica pero usa un lenguaje adaptado al lector común sin llegar a ser pretenciosamente complicado, por lo que con la concentración suficiente(o leyendo otra vez lo que no entendiste) puedes leerlo de a varias paginas en una sentada sin que necesariamente te agote mentalmente, contiene, además de la justificación del autor para apoyar la idea del "deep work", estrategias para aplicarlo en el día a día, además de tips para eliminar las distracciones y dejar el internet crónico. Ya lo he leído dos veces y planeo volver a esta lectura de forma consistente en los próximos meses, recomendado al 100
