Most people have totally lost the ability to go “deep”—spending their days instead in an erratic blur of e-mail and Facebook and twitter and so on and so forth—not even realizing there’s a better way to living life than behaving like a hamster on a wheel—constantly searching for the next dopamine hit…
News flash, bro-chacho: there is a better way.
A much, much better way. And it can help you grow your mindset, your finances, and your ability to produce massive progress in pretty much every arena of your life… What’s this “better way,” you ask?
And we’ll be talking to the guy who literally wrote the book on deep work in today’s episode of the podcast. His name is Cal Newport.
Cal’s written several books dedicated to helping us maximize our potential and cultivate more meaningful lives—both personally and professionally.
I first found out about Cal when I read his totally awesome book, So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love—as the sub-title entails—is all about debunking old advice about how blindly “following your passion” will make you happy.
And today, Cal’s here to talk with us about his fifth book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
