Title and Author: Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport.
Genre/Category: Non-Fiction, Productivity, Self-Help, Personal Development.
Concept Summary: Newport introduces the concept of deep work as the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks. He contrasted it with shallow work, which consists of non-essential, often distracting jobs that are easy to accomplish but do not have great value generated. Newport asserts that deep work is becoming scarcer but highly indispensable to the economy as this is the key element that gives an individual the leverage to produce high-quality work within a stipulated short time. He therefore emphasizes that those who learn to cultivate such skills can stand out in both professional and personal aspects of their lives.
