Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together.

ストーリー
The motivations behind today's most successful leaders and entrepreneurs come to a simple yet decisive explanation: there are people who give, people who take, people who match and people who fake. Our world is filled with these givers, takers, matchers and fakers. Amazingly, those who succeed (not only personally but for their clients and companies) don't take or match. They give. (Although they're not necessarily philanthropic.)
批評家のレビュー
あらすじ・解説
Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction.
Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve. Most of us, after all, are excruciatingly familiar with shallow work instead - distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. Newport began exploring the methods and mind-set that foster a practice of distraction-free productivity at work, and now, in Deep Work, he shows how anyone can achieve this elusive state.
Through revealing portraits of both historical and modern-day thinkers, academics and leaders in the fields of technology, science and culture, and their deep work habits, Newport shares an inspiring collection of tools to wring every last drop of value out of your intellectual capacity. He explains why mastering this shift in work practices is crucial for anyone who intends to stay ahead in a complex information economy and how to systematically train the mind to focus. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions we can make in an increasingly distracted world.

great idea but too wordy
I like how Cal Newport tried to convince readers to adopt Deep work with so many examples. The Deep work concept it quite valuable and helps people achieve more than they would normally. On the down side, I felt the book was too wordy. There were too many similar examples here and there. You could read 5 pages and not derive any additional information because he just kept adding examples and sometimes, unrelated content. Overall it was okay. My awareness of the potential of going deep makes it a good read.

The arguments for deep work are well spoken, and the strategies on how to achieve are very specific, driving you towards more depth. This book gives you not only the reason on why to commit to depth, but also tells you what path to take, to arrange your life around depth.

Notes from a sketchbook of an average professor
While some of the collection of tactics cited in this book are valuable, the ensemble is not really a great work. the examples are so narrowly skewed to the life of a struggling hyper competitive young professor obsessed with success that some end up being funny if not irrelevant. All the research cited here is interesting but you better read the books from the actual researchers. However in the end you are still left with a few useful tactics you can apply, if you haven’t yet read them elsewhere

It's one of those life changing books
This book basically teaches you how to be happy.
You can use what you learn from this book in nearly every aspect of your life.
I deliberately waited with the review of this book so I can evaluate how I've changed my way of life since reading the book and I believe I was able to make some positive changes.
I can positively recommend this book to everyone. Especially the people who are just entering adulthood and want to figure out how to adult. This is one great first step (or however many you have taken so far).

Useful insights into ring-fencing your focus.
Narrator was a bit slow but the audible app allowed me to play at 1.5x.
In 3 bullets.
* cut or batch low value (social media etc) tasks to low energy times of work day.
* schedule deep valuable work in time blocks early in the day.
* protect down-time for productive habits like reading, exercise, family time & getting out into nature.

Useful but repetitive and light on substance
I really wanted to love this book and so went into it with an open heart. But I found the information quite minimal, repetitious and a little scattered in it's organisation. It's like collated research around several main points, of which there are sub-points that the author has found interesting. But you cannot get away from the academic nature of the author and therefore the slight feeling of drawing on his academic authority as a means of asserting his ideas. There is not enough real world application for me.
I felt like this could easily be boiled down into a long blog post on these main areas. This would make sense in the broader scope of the book, as it is about not wasting time and being focused on quality work. So I'd rather read a concise, well researched blog post than listen to hours and hours of repetition of similar topics.
If you have read a few things and done some of your own research on or around 'deep work' you do not need to read this book, but it may be interesting to you. I would say knowing that the human brain has a limit to daily focus until it needs a recharge and a break is the most useful point I took away from this, and now try to make sure I work on 3 hours of focused work first thing, then do the 'shallow work' later on in the day. If this helps me then my free credit was worth it! But not quite as much of a bombshell as I expected...just common sense.

lots of advice. great read.
I wrote down quite a bit reading that book that I will use instantly. I wouldn't say I was a virgin to Cal's ideas. on a recent project I hid away in a conference room to complete the project with complete focus. no emails or Im. but admittedly I am more reactive to the demands of others than I am to my own made up goals. couple of things I'm going to enforce are more deep thinking moments. and the daily timeblocks allocated time. the thought of ownership for each 30 mins is good. and also saying no to things. I can often day yes to a lot of things. my thinking is that you never know which stone the gem is lying underneath. but after reading this book I need to be more defensive of my time. as a coder I have lots of ideas but email and calls keep me from acting on them.

The key messages I think are that email and social media in particular tend to be distracting and use up a lot of your time. Periods of abstinence will increase your productivity. Perhaps a whole book was a long way of making this point but it was made very well

Not what you are looking for...
It has a seductive title. Everyone wants to learn how to work harder and for longer but trust me - this will not help you. I've listened to many similar audiobooks but this is based on the most loosely referenced information that will supposedly help you to improve your concentration. Nearly all of it is common sense and some of it is simply outlandish: "Memorise a deck of cards" "Store information as variables in your brain"??? Hmmmmm

Great contemporary logic for old-fashioned hard work
I like the logical structure while maintaining an easy context for wholistic understanding.
A good listen/read for anyone waning to achieve great things by being smart (use your brain to think strong thoughts)

For those who like their own space.
Any additional comments?
Deep Work is a well read book, with some interesting points that I will try and implement into my own work habits.I did find, however, that the author is very "introverted" in his approach, and he clearly doesn't identify with the needs of extroverts. Monastic approaches to work, where a person locks themself away to think - posting notes basically saying 'get over it' to possible distractions - are seen as 'ideal situations'. He considers social media as having 'minor benefits' - when I propose that most of the world disagrees. Connection and relationships are extremely important to people, which is why so many people feel compelled to Facetime instead of write their thesis. While the author may consider 2 weeks locked in a room a meditative experience, he should also recognise that solitary confinement is actually used as a form of torture.I did like his use of scheduling, memorising and training techniques to train the brain to like solitude and hard work - but I think I will need to find a more extroverted approach to deep work, because there is little hope of me retreating to my bat cave any time soon.

Dull beyond words
What would have made Deep Work better?
Less repetition of the obvious
What was most disappointing about Cal Newport’s story?
It's all about Cal. More examples of how his suggested methods of focus actually worked for other people outside of his industry would have won me over
Would you be willing to try another one of Jeff Bottoms’s performances?
Yes
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Deep Work?
50% of the book would go. I would cut in more fact, show relevance to others outside of academia, and take out the remminicances
Any additional comments?

Highly Informative
After listening to the book in the space of a week, I would recommend this to anyone seeking a way to spend their time at work or at home in a more balanced manner. This book outlines several methods used for being able to work in a concentrated manner for sectioned amounts of time without distraction, but also by reducing the amount of free time that is spent procrastinating in between these long projects, so that the work output is faster and of a higher quality overall, without sacrificing too much leisure time.

Good book.
Good book. A bit too pedantic but overall a good read. It goes into too much details sometime that you loose interest but overall good narrative and practical strategies that can be implemented.
