书籍介绍

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 the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.

In DEEP WORK, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

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 no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. DEEP WORK is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

本书建立在这个前提上:对于知识劳动者来说,深层工作是发挥潜能的必经之路,并根据各种研究提出了以下几点:1、人在投入工作时常比在放松时更快乐,区别在于有无提前对时间的计划;2、rituals可以减少意志力的消耗,从而让人得以更快开始深层工作;3、有时对工作坏境做出改变,让自己与网络和嘈杂隔绝,从而增加深层工作,但在日常生活中,可以考虑(1)设定上网时间,(2)利用chain method来增加自己的意愿;4、对于那些需要处理大量抽象信息的问题来说,潜意识思维常比主动思维更重要,所以要给大脑留出空间;5、每天确定一个“结束工作”时间,之后不再思考任何有关工作的事,如果工作做不完,就延长工作日,但要明确知道“今天已经结束”了的时间;6、社交网络对大多数知识工作者来说都弊大于利,所以要有所取舍。
写书、在科学领域做出新发现或发明、备考很难的考试,写歌谱曲、创立和运营一家公司、读复杂的文章,以及为某项体育运动而不断练习,这些都是Deep Work。
