Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out
- simongray 8y agoI recommend reading The Shallows by Nicholas Carr before reading Deep Work.
- madeuptempacct 8y agoWhy?
- simongray 8y agoBecause Deep Work is more a "how", while The Shallows is more of a "why". It's good to know why, before you try to get to know how. Specifically, The Shallows is an investigation into what the Internet and modern technology does to the brain and what kind of side-effects it may have (affecting our ability to focus). It's a very well-written and accessible book. Deep Work is more of a how-to book - about how to get ahead in world that's losing its ability to focus (due to the stuff described in The Shallows).

- Omnius 8y agoThanks for the follow up i have ordered the book. I didn't find deep work lacking but still look forward to reading the shallows.
