Resources

This week we are keeping Deep Work as the resource. This book is so in tune with helping us all excel in the modern world. Scott just finished rereading the book while taking notes along the way.

Deep Work by Cal Newport

The premise of Deep Work is: “The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who cultivate this skill, and then make it their core, will thrive.”

We couldn’t agree more. Deep Work > Shallow Work. But we have culture and society making it difficult to do deep work. This book provides insights on how to bring deep work into your life.
