A Must-Read book. Excellent content . The premise is that for colossal work output, one must cut off distractions of e-mail, all social media, smartphone etc and work everyday in a quiet place with intense concentration. A few hours like that will increase work output enormously, benefitting the practitioner in immense ways in his/her career and all other aspects of life. It will provide a big competitive advantage, compared to those whose attention is fragmented owing to distractions/ addictions of social media.The book is exceptionally well written , with solid reasoning and examples. This resonates with a classic book by the guru of management writing, Peter Drucker, titled ' The Effective Executive '. It has a chapter titled 'Know thy time' where he stresses on the importance of properly managing time, first and foremost. In that he says that giving largest possible continuous units of time for important work is of paramount importance. Giving small driblets of time to such work is useless. There must be a feeling of ' there being all the time to work undisturbed on that aspect / problem/issue deliberately , with no pressure to be off elsewhere '. This is a discerning point and a very useful practice, when doing important work . There were no social media distractions then, the highly damaging effects of which, the author of this book, Cal Newport has now elaborated in detail. Must read and apply this book for a huge jump in all-round productivity and self-improvement.

Humm.. yet I’m not easily accessible as I believe Deep Life is not only economically lucrative, but it’s a life well lived. I live a focused life, because it’s the best life there is ~!~ #gaganvictor

The book is helpful, I got some good ideas of how to do deep work in this busy world full of distraction. However, the writing is very lengthy, complicated english words are used, extensive storytelling and you might not understand everything, but if you just understand what the author wants to say, that's it, you can go with it as it has got some really good lessons about deep work and that is why I read it anyways.

After reading this working in deep mine and caves has been better.

Page is not so much good
