That’s true. I have read same books of Newport and I thought they could be summarized on two pages probably. But I guess that applies to most self help authors.

That’s true. I have read same books of Newport and I thought they could be summarized on two pages probably. But I guess that applies to most self help authors. Their whole life work can usually be summarized on a few pages.
- kashyapc 3y agoAbsolutely. The aggravating thing with Newport is that for a guy advocating "minimalism", he churns out too much needless crap. The irony seems definitely lost on him. As for avoiding the plague that is the filler books, a robust solution is to pick books that have stood the test of time. Hard to beat that strategy. At least that's how I roll. The onus is us, as the reader, to be ruthless about picking the books that truly deserve our attention.
