Deep work book is written by Cal Newport . The book has made me approach work and exciting life with so many new thoughts. It also clarifies the true effects of time wasters on our minds. It also motivates us to consider what we would be capable of what we do with our time and for this our attention is extremely important. Focus is much more rigorous than we perceive. If we do not develop the most demanding of all disciplines, self discipline we will flounder and wonder why. Cal Newport’s writings are drawn away by mental prompts to check email, text a friend or get a bite to eat.

What is difference between shallow work and deep work?

This is not only a state of professional satisfaction but also a way of survival. Top Books “The market is ruthless.” Cal says. If we are not doing something that is rare and valuable it is not going to be valued much by the market and we may be in trouble. It is dee...
