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.
