From New York Times bestselling author Cal Newport comes a vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox and promising a new era of productivity.
What The Reviewers Say
Mr. Newport offers a surprisingly zippy history of email and notes how suddenly it changed the way workers worked.
As with most books of this genre, some of Newport’s observations feel like statements of the bleeding obvious dressed up in jargon.
Newport, 38, is an interesting voice on technology, with an outlook that often runs contrary to prevailing opinion, but one who makes persuasive arguments, nevertheless. He is worth reading—he also has a fantastic podcast—even if you don’t agree with all of his ideas. The key to his value as a thinker is that he makes you think about ideas that you would normally dismiss.
