Reviewed in India on 1 April 2024

Book-Level: Intermediate.

Deep Work introduces the difference between Shallow and Deepk work. Though I read recommended The Shallow book first, this book does add more details and guide for Deep Work.

Few noteworthy points.
- Deep Work is a Good Work.
- Right to protect your attention.
- Process to evaluate Networking Tools, and Quit them as needed.
- Fix scheduled mindset.
- Sender Filter

Many ideas suggested on the book are worthy enough to try.

Recommend to pass on to next generation, as they are going to need this big time. And, worthy of reread.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very important book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2023

I really resonated with this book. I work in software, and even though my job requires a lot of hard thinking and problem solving, I find myself constantly distracted by a work culture which seems to think it's ok to be perpetually interrupted.

This book has been my guiding light and adopting even half of what it recommends is challenging, but very worthwhile.

If you read "So Good They Can't Ignore You" you might remember Cal Newport highlights the need to develop "career capital", that is, hard-earned rare and valuable skills, which enable you to get a meaningful / satisfying job.

This book is a substantial part of the answer to the question of: "how do I get rare and valuable skills?".

Newport starts the book by arguing quite convincingly that deep work is not only increasingly rare, but increasingly valuable. But let's rewind a bit, what is "deep" work?

Deep work is defined as working in a very focused manner, free from distractions, intensely concentrating on something that hopefully yields a valuable outcome. The output need not be something physical, it could be an insight, an idea, or a skill. Think of straining your brain to solve a puzzle versus copy and pasting things while chatting to a colleague. The former is deep, the latter shallow.

Deep work is becoming increasingly rare because of our work culture's obsession with "connectivity", open plan offices, and social media. Why are we destroying our ability to work deeply then? Some things stand out, like the fact that it is hard to get metrics for how these things make us less productive, how hard it is to quantify the productivity of a knowledge worker, and how we tend to jump on the latest tech without thinking about alternatives / downsides.

The case is made for deep work becoming increasingly valuable partly because of these distractions: if you can do it, you will stand out. But it's also valuable because of what it leads to: mastery of hard skills, and valuable output.

Apart from these extrinsic benefits deep work is also intrinsically meaningful. It can cultivate a sense of craftsmanship and can lead to the fulfilling "flow" state.

After the "what" and the "why" the rest of the book focuses on the "how".

Lots of useful ideas and techniques are explored here. The general theme is do what you can and be thoughtful about how you spend your day.

For example identify how you can do deep work: is it possible for you to go to the woods for the weekend, or (like most busy people with jobs) do you have some morning/evening time to use well?

Make good routines / rituals. Schedule distractions and make focus your default state. Quit (or reduce your time on) social media. Adopt tech with a more critical mindset. Be less available on email etc.

To conclude, this book is a shining light in the fog of modern work practices. If you are an attention deprived knowledge worker, it will likely help you a lot. But I can see it benefitting a wider class of people, because our ability to focus is so important.
