Deep work : rules for focused success in a distracted world / Cal Newport.
Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task, allowing you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Most people, however, 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. Newport shows that cultivating the ability to do deep work will produce massive benefits, and presents a training regimen for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.
