If You Struggle With Focus, Read This Book (Deep Work by Cal Newport)

Do you feel you've been losing your ability to concentrate? Or maybe you sometimes tend avoid working on things that are "hard" because your brain just seems to want to avoid the challenge? I've been facing these problems for a while, and I finally stumbled upon a book that helped me overcome these challenges. Deep Work by Cal Newport analyzes why we as a society are struggling to concentrate on hard things. It dives into the increasing value and rarity of deep work, and provides practical tips that you can deploy to increase your ability to focus. Learn more about my thoughts on Deep Work and why I think it's so important in this video.
