深度工作：在分心的世界中专注成功的规则（Deep Work：Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World）〔英文版〕

《深度工作》是专注于认知要求高的任务而不会分心的能力。这是一项技能，可以让您快速掌握复杂的信息并在更短的时间内产生更好的结果。《深度工作》会让你在你所做的事情上做得更好，并提供来自工作的真正成就感。简而言之，《深度工作》就像是我们竞争日益激烈的 21 世纪经济中的超级大国。然而，大多数人已经在电子邮件和社交媒体的疯狂模糊中度过深夜生活而失去了深度工作的能力，甚至没有意识到还有更好的方法。

在《Deep Work》 中，作家兼教授 Cal Newport 颠覆了有关互联时代影响的叙述。他没有争论分心是不好的，而是庆祝其对立面的力量。将这本书分为两部分，他首先说明，在几乎任何行业中，培养深厚的职业道德都会产生巨大的收益。然后，他提出了一个严格的训练方案，表现为一系列的四个“规则”，用于转变您的思想和习惯以支持这项技能。

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It’s a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there’s a better way.

In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four “rules,” for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.

1. Work Deeply
2. Embrace Boredom
3. Quit Social Media
4. Drain the Shallows

A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.
