One of the most valuable skills in our economy is becoming increasingly rare. If you master this skill, you'll achieve extraordinary results. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world. 'Cal Newport is exceptional in the realm of self-help authors' New York Times 'Deep work' is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. Coined by author and professor Cal Newport on his popular blog Study Hacks, deep work will make you better at what you do, let you achieve more in less time and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from the mastery of a skill. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy. And yet most people, whether knowledge workers in noisy open-plan offices or creatives struggling to sharpen their vision, have lost the ability to go deep - spending their days instead in a frantic blur of email and social media, not even realising there's a better way. 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 surprising suggestions, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions you can make in an increasingly distracted world and this book will point the way.

Cal Newport pleitte al jaren voor ?Bevrijd!? voor diep werk: het vinden van tijd en rust voor geconcentreerd werk, waarin creativiteit en origineel denken ontstaan. De constante communicatiestroom heeft ons werk echter compleet overgenomen, waardoor strategieën tegen afleiding niet meer volstaan. We zijn de hele dag bezig met communiceren over ons werk, in plaats van dat werk te dóén. Dit gaat ten koste van onze productiviteit, creativiteit, gezondheid en ons denkvermogen. Cal Newport vertelt in ?Bevrijd!? hoe we in deze communicatietredmolen zijn beland en bevrijdt ons van de tirannie van de inbox. In een toekomst waarin we ons onderscheiden van algoritmen en robots door onze hersenen, is het essentieel om gewoontes aan te leren waardoor we onze hersenen echt benutten. Bedrijven die hun processen daarop aanpassen, creëren een wezenlijk concurrentievoordeel. Newport biedt in ?Bevrijd!? een blauwdruk voor die gewoontes en processen; voor elke ceo of ondernemer die zijn bedrijf toekomstbestendig wil maken, en voor elke werknemer die zijn overvolle inbox zat is.https://www.businesscontact.nl/boek/bevrijd/

In ‘Diep werk’ wijst Cal Newport op de noodzaak van geconcentreerd werken om maximaal te kunnen presteren, een vaardigheid die we langzaam zijn kwijtgeraakt. Newport gebruikte de term ‘diep werk’ voor het eerst op zijn populaire blog. Hij raakte een zenuw: Newports artikelen over dit onderwerp werden honderdduizenden keren gelezen en overgenomen.De meeste mensen laten zich gemakkelijk onderbreken en besteden een groot deel van de dag aan oppervlakkige werkzaamheden. Dit boek bevat talloze inspirerende verhalen en praktische adviezen over hoe je je werk anders kunt organiseren om diep werk een vaste plek te geven. Want alleen door iets met volle aandacht te doen, ontwikkel je je denkkracht en bereik je meer in minder tijd.

"Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this idea to our personal technology. It's the key to living a focused life in an increasingly noisy world. In this timely and enlightening book, the bestselling author of Deep Work introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives, and attempts to unplug completely are complicated by the demands of family, friends and work. What we need instead is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions. Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude."
