Von der hinteren Coverseite

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 will show you how.

'Deep work' is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It will make you better at what you do, enable you to achieve more in less time and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from the mastery of a skill.

In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive economy.

Developing a deep work practice is one of the best decisions you can make, and yet most people have lost the ability to go deep - spending their days instead in a frantic blur of email and social media, not even realising there's a better way.

This life-changing book presents a mix of cultural criticism, compelling manifesto and immediately actionable advice for cultivating your focus and achieving success across all aspects of life.

Deep Work is an indispensable guide to thriving in a distracted world.

'Depth isn't at odds with a full life - it facilitates it. I'm persuaded' Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks

'An introduction and guide to the kind of intense concentration in a distraction-free environment that results in fast, powerful learning and performance' Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive

'The most well-informed and astute collection of practical advice I have seen for reclaiming one's mental powers' Matthew B. Crawford, author of The World Beyond Your Head
