Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport (Summary Book)

Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport explores the importance of focused, undistracted work in an age full of distractions. Newport contrasts "deep work"—cognitive activities performed in a state of intense concentration—with "shallow work"—tasks that are non-demanding and often fragmented. He argues that deep work is essential for high achievement and success in today's competitive world. The book offers practical strategies for cultivating deep work habits, such as time-blocking, embracing boredom, quitting social media, and minimizing shallow work. Newport shows how mastering deep work can lead to greater productivity, creativity, and personal fulfillment.
