This Deep Work <\/em>review takes a look at the book’s context, background, and critical reception <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deep Work<\/em><\/strong> by Cal Newport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDeep work\u201d\u2014totally focused, undistracted work\u2014is the way to thrive in today\u2019s information economy, explains professor Cal Newport in Deep Work<\/em>. His method of blocking off chunks of time to focus<\/a> intensely on a single task strengthens your ability to learn difficult things quickly and optimize your output\u2014both of which are key skills for knowledge workers, or those who work with information. He explains why deep work is so valuable and then helps you design your life to allow more time for deep work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cal Newport is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University. He\u2019s published eight books. His first three books focus on advice for students: How to Win at College<\/em><\/a>, How to Become a Straight-A Student<\/em><\/a>, and How to Be a High School Superstar<\/em><\/a>. In 2007, in tandem with his work on these books, he started his popular blog, Study Hacks<\/em><\/a>. The blog aims to help students do focused, meaningful schoolwork while managing the ever-growing presence of distracting technology<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newport then pivoted toward writing about business and has published four books on the subject: So Good They Can\u2019t Ignore You<\/em><\/a>, Deep Work, <\/em>Digital Minimalism<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>and A World Without Email<\/em><\/a>. He\u2019s also published The Time-Block Planner<\/em><\/a>, a companion to his books that helps readers apply his principles and mindfully plan their days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newport regularly writes about deep work, digital use, and distraction for publications including The New Yorker<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and The New York Times<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newport lives by his digital minimalism principles\u2014he doesn\u2019t appear on any social media, save for a single tweet<\/a> that reiterates his dedication to deep work: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book\u2019s Publication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Publisher: <\/strong>Grand Central Publishing, Hachette Book Group<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published in 2016, Deep Work<\/em> is Newport\u2019s fifth book. It\u2019s since earned a spot as a Wall Street Journal<\/em> Business Bestseller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book\u2019s Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deep Work<\/em> came out at a time when many other authors were writing on similar subjects\u2014how to stand out, how to get focused<\/a>, how to live in the present<\/a>, how to get a handle on technology\u2019s place in our lives\u2014and people were seeking out such books for answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the book\u2019s publication year, 2016, New York Times bestseller lists (general <\/a>and business<\/a>) included books touching on related topics, such as The Revenge of Analog, The Power of Habit, Originals, <\/em>and Outliers.<\/em> Business Insider\u2019s bestsellers list<\/a> included titles such as Tools of Titans<\/a> <\/em>and Smarter Faster Better<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book\u2019s Strengths and Weaknesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deep Work<\/em> reviews are fairly evenly split between positive and negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positive reviewers, many of whom credit Newport\u2019s ideas with helping them work through procrastination or focus issues, agree that his ideas are invaluable to learning how to climb to the top in our current information economy. They note that the book feels like much more than a collection of tired productivity hacks\u2014rather, it reads as a guide to overhauling foundational aspects of your life, such as your schedule, to create far-reaching changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, negative reviewers commonly bring up several points of criticism. First, they note that Newport seems unaware of the unique privileges that allow him to do deep work, such as the flexibility of his academic job and a deep work activity that\u2019s relatively accessible\u2014all you need is a laptop. Thus, while Newport may do a good job laying out the importance of deep work and describing ideal conditions for it, critics say he falls short of giving actionable advice for typical knowledge workers, who have less control over their work and schedules than a professor has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, many reviewers point out apparent sexism in Newport\u2019s examples\u2014almost all of his examples of people excelling in deep work are men, and he seems to reserve female-centered examples for explanations of what not<\/em> to do. (Note: Because we don\u2019t use Newport\u2019s examples, we don\u2019t directly address this criticism in this guide. However, it comes up frequently enough in reviews of the book that it bears mention.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commentary on the Book\u2019s Approach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Numerous reviewers compare Newport\u2019s writing to that of Malcolm Gladwell, author of popular psychology books<\/a> like Outliers<\/em><\/a> and Blink<\/em><\/a>. Like Gladwell, he brings the concepts he discusses to life with interesting case studies and entertaining anecdotes. This accessible style helps readers connect with tricky ideas around the value of focus, and it illustrates the powerful effect that undistracted work can have on a career\u2014especially in a world where many consider multitasking a superpower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commentary on the Book\u2019s Organization<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the first part of his book, Newport explains the philosophy of deep work and why it\u2019s an invaluable skill for knowledge workers. In the second part, he explains different \u201crules\u201d that help readers optimize their days and carve out more time for deep work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Numerous critical reviews note that the three first chapters are interesting but become somewhat repetitive. They also note that in later chapters, Newport\u2019s \u201crules\u201d tend to drag on or lack substance.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
