AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2O16 PICK IN BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER A BUSINESS BOOK OF THE WEEK AT 800-CEO-READ Master one of our economy's most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this "exciting" book (Daniel H. Pink) from an "exceptional" author (New York Times Book Review). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people 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. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of 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 takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

डिजिटल न्यूनतमवादी हमारे चारों ओर मौजूद हैं। वे शांत और खुश रहनेवाले ऐसे लोग हैं, जो बार-बार अपने फोन पर नज़र डाले बिना लंबी बातचीत करने में सक्षम हैं। जब वे कहीं घूमने-फिरने जाते हैं, तो हर चीज़ को रिकॉर्ड करने की सनक के बिना, अपने परिवार और दोस्तों के साथ मजे़दार ढंग से समय बिताना जानते हैं। उन्हें कोई ''फियर ऑफ मिसिंग आउट'' (जिसे संक्षिप्त में FOMO भी कहते हैं) महसूस नहीं होता क्योंकि उन्हें पहले से पता होता है कि उन्हें किन गतिविधियों का हिस्सा बनकर संतुष्टि और सार्थकता महसूस होती है।अब बेस्टसेलिंग लेखक कैल न्यूपोर्ट ने इस शांतिपूर्ण आंदोलन को एक नाम दे दिया है - डिजिटल न्यूनतमवाद। टेक्नोलॉजी के नशे में डूबी इस दुनिया को वे बड़े ही विश्वसनीय ढंग से बताते हैं कि ये आंदोलन कितना महत्वपूर्ण है।अपने तकनीकी जीवन का नियंत्रण वापस अपने हाथों में लेने के मामले में, नोटिफिकेशंस ऑफ करने और कभी-कभी कुछ समय के लिए डिजिटल उपकरणों से दूर रहने जैसे सामान्य नुस्खे ज़्यादा काम नहीं आते। ऊपर से हमारे परिवार, दोस्तों और सहकर्मियों के चलते टेक्नोलॉजी से पूरी तरह दूरी बनाना भी काफी जटिल होता है। इसके बजाय हमें एक ऐसी प्रभावी पद्धति की जरूरत है, जिसकी मदद से यह तय किया जा सके कि हमें कौन से डिजिटल उपकरणों का उपयोग करना चाहिए, किन उद्देश्यों के लिए करना चाहिए और किन परिस्थितियों में करना चाहिए।असल जिंदगी के ढेरों उदाहरण पेश करते हुए, कैल न्यूपोर्ट डिजिटल न्यूनतमवादियों के आम व्यवहारों और उनके पीछे के मूल विचारों की पहचान करते हैं...

A New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller From New York Times bestselling author Cal Newport comes a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox--and unleashing a new era of productivity. Modern knowledge workers communicate constantly. Their days are defined by a relentless barrage of incoming messages and back-and-forth digital conversations--a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect, and so nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. There was a time when tools like email felt cutting edge, but a thorough review of current evidence reveals that the "hyperactive hive mind" workflow they helped create has become a productivity disaster, reducing profitability and perhaps even slowing overall economic growth. Equally worrisome, it makes us miserable. Humans are simply not wired for constant digital communication. We have become so used to an inbox-driven workday that it's hard to imagine alternatives. But they do exist. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, author and computer science professor Cal Newport makes the case that our current approach to work is broken, then lays out a series of principles and concrete instructions for fixing it. In A World without Email, he argues for a workplace in which clear processes--not haphazard messaging--define how tasks are identified, assigned and reviewed. Each person works on fewer things (but does them better), and aggressive investment in support reduces the ever-increasing burden of administrative tasks. Above all else, important communication is streamlined, and inboxes and chat channels are no longer central to how work unfolds. The knowledge sector's evolution beyond the hyperactive hive mind is inevitable. The question is not whether a world without email is coming (it is), but whether you'll be ahead of this trend. If you're a CEO seeking a competitive edge, an entrepreneur convinced your productivity could be higher, or an employee exhausted by your inbox, A World Without Email will convince you that the time has come for bold changes, and will walk you through exactly how to make them happen.
