From a New York Times bestselling author, learn to master one of our economy's rarest skills-the ability to focus-and achieve groundbreaking results.



Deep work is the power to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time-a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport presents four rules for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill:



1. Work Deeply 

2. Embrace Boredom 

3. Quit Social Media 

4. Drain the Shallows 



A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work uses examples from Carl Jung to social media pioneers to demonstrate how great thinkers have focused their minds in a nonstop world.
