BOOK REVIEW: DEEP WORK

-

Deep work book is written by Carl Newport. I read this book in almost sixteen hours not continuous. I went to market to buy some books of my pre planned list. While roaming around the market, I found this book. I didn’t get the meaning of deep work initially. I read some pages to get its meaning. I found the amazing content inside and decided to buy this book.

In the book, I read to complete a task by disconnecting almost completely from all distractions and plunge in deep work. It can be anything writing a book, drawing or painting scientific research, composing a piece of music etc. When we bring out the product of our deep work, we get fantastic rewards for all dedicated effort whether in terms of money, recognition, awards etc. Top Books

In the book, Cal Newport differentiates between deep work and shallow work. We get all day so many distractions. It is our responsibility to shut out the noise and enter into a period of deep concentration and focus. It is the most amazing way to get work done and get excellent results whatever we do.

The book provides its readers so many practical strategies. The book will not give us a magical formula that will make us awesome but gives different strategies, of which we might pick some to make our day more structured and get the most out of it. It is up to readers choose the strategy that suits their personality and lifestyle.

Deep work is an ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding work. It makes us better at what we do. Let us achieve more in less time and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from the mastery of a skill. It is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy.

Cal Newport is an American non fiction author and associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. He completed his studies at Dartmouth College and received a PhD degree in computer science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His grandfather John Newport was a Baptist minister and theologian.

The power of your subconscious mind book is written by Joseph Murphy . It is a self-help type book . In the book we read about the power of our subconscious mind. Our mind is the only leader of our thinking. It defines our success or failure. It decides our capabilities to do the things possible or impossible. We read in the book… People all around may discourage us but we should try and try until the task is done. We can do everything what we can think, if we prepare our subconscious mind. Our thoughts decide our life and actions to try to be positive most of the time. We have healing power in our subconscious mind. Every disease first develops in our mind then reaches to our body. We should govern our task according to our thinking. In any situation of our life we should think that we are happy, harmonious, strong, loving and careful etc. Negative thoughts like stress , anxiety, fear, tension etc. destroy our thinking and result in serious diseases. Peace of Mind is the greatest...

We all know today is 15th August Independence Day. It is a very great day for us as a citizen of India. Today everyone is sharing photos and updating status on all the social media sites, like the whole country is coloured with tricolour. We all celebrate this day every year with full zeal and in patriotic way. We all have a cordial nature for our soldiers. We will always remember the sacrifice of soldiers in Jammu Kashmir operation (1948), China war (1962), Pakistan war (1965), Bangladesh war (1971), IPKF operation Pawan in Sri Lanka (1987), Kargil conflict (1999), and many more operations that gave befitting response to those who tried to dismantle the sovereignty of India. It feels very good to see everyone is patriotic and showing love towards the country but this feeling should be long lasting not only on Independence Day or in Republic day. In these two days we proudly hoist flag everywhere but after one or two days we saw many tore flags on the road, in garbage like a waste pap...

Unblocking The Most Beautiful Heart

It was 25 th  2010 July, first day of my engineering college. I was very sincere, so I was there to attend the class there were three boys and two girls, others were absent because it was first day and some people take the first day lightly. It was Reena ma’am‘s class but before teaching there was an introduction session. Though I was not good at English but I managed to introduce myself and told her about myself. After sometime it was turn of a girl. Her name was Jasmine, she was very busy in reading some books I thought she did not mind what’s going on. Ma’am said, “Jasmine… tell me about yourself.” She hastily stood up; she was very chubby, cute girl with pink cheeks. She introduced herself; i was very closely observing her and her beauty. Some of her hair locks were disturbing her vision by playing with her spectacles. For me it was like love at first sight. Her pink lips were like petals of rose. Her eyes were big like it was hiding a deep mysterious ocean in which i could ...
