<b>From a<i> New York Times</i> bestselling author, learn to master one of our economy’s rarest skills–the ability to focus–and achieve groundbreaking results.</b><br><br> 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 <i>Deep Work</i>, author and professor Cal Newport presents four rules for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill:<br><br> 1. Work Deeply <br> 2. Embrace Boredom <br> 3. Quit Social Media <br> 4. Drain the Shallows <br><br> A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, <i>Deep Work</i> uses examples from Carl Jung to social media pioneers to demonstrate how great thinkers have focused their minds in a nonstop world.
