Cal's key ideas for the uninitiated:
- Deep Life: Kind of like essentialism / minimalism: Be intentional & focus on results / remove what matters. Create 5 pillars for your life, and work fits into it: https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2020/04/20/cultivating-a-deep-life/ https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2020/04/20/cultivating-a-dee...
- Deep Work: do one thing at a time, in a focused way. Context switching is expensive on the brain and stressful / anxiety inducing
- Career Advice (So Good They Can't Ignore You book): become great at a skill or the intersection of multiple skills. When you become good, you'll learn to love it and you can trade in your expertise for more lifestyle traits (more pay or less hours or no boss)

- molsongolden 4y agoAny favorite podcast episodes you'd recommend for someone listening for the first time?
- sorry_i_lisp 4y agoI think using the Core Ideas Playlist and starting there would be good: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8xK8kBHHUX43VVxO3b7so_HXS72rf6eg https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8xK8kBHHUX43VVxO3b7s... I have never listened to a podcast, just the cut out snippts on the youtube channel.
- skadamat 4y agoGood question! 1. Deep Life Principles: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-204-deep-life-principles/id1515786216?i=1000569523350 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-204-deep-life-princ... 2. Decoding the Deep Life: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-200-decoding-the-deep-life/id1515786216?i=1000566223960 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-200-decoding-the-de... 3. Quieting the Ambitious Brain: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-199-quieting-an-ambitious-brain/id1515786216?i=1000565957798 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-199-quieting-an-amb... 4. Fun experimental episode on Shop Class as Soulcraft: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-116-re-reading-shop-class-as-soulcraft-with-brad/id1515786216?i=1000530036398 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-116-re-reading-shop... Also as the person below me pointed out, the Core Ideas playlist is great: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8xK8kBHHUX43VVxO3b7so_HXS72rf6eg https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8xK8kBHHUX43VVxO3b7s... Most of them have the same format (except the last one above): - Deep dive into a topic he's thinking about - Listener questions - Once a month update on books he's read
