Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport

4.0

I LOVE the first half of this book. It talks generally about Deep Work, what it is and why it's important. I feel inspired to pursue this in my own life for my own happiness and productivity.

I'm lukewarm on the second half of the book, where it gets into specific things to do. The advice seems so specific to an Academic (who loves schedules and hates email, he calls them "knowledge workers" ) to not be super useful more broadly.
I also didn't love how the focus of this book is monetary success, to the exclusion of everything else.
