Feel like you're always drowning in email? How much more would you achieve without them - and how much happier would you be? 'A World Without Email crystallizes what so many of us feel intuitively but haven't been able to explain: the way we're working isn't working.' Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox Emails are an integral part of work today. But the 'kind regards', forwards and attachments we check every 5.4 minutes are making us unproductive, stressed and costing businesses millions in untapped potential. Bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport, is here to offer a radical new vision - a world without email. Drawing on sociology, behavioural economics and fascinating case studies of thriving email-free companies, Newport explains how this modern tool doesn't work for our ancient brains and provides solutions you can implement today to transform your workday into one without constant, distracting pings. Revolutionary and practical, A World Without Email will liberate you to do your most profound, fulfilling and creative work - and be happier too.

Vďaka tomu zažijete pocit skutočného naplnenia, ktoré pramení z majstrovského ovládania tejto zručnosti.

Cal Newport's clearly-written manifesto flies in the face of conventional wisdom by suggesting that it should be a person's talent and skill - and not necessarily their passion - that determines their career path. Newport, who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) and earned a PhD. from MIT, contends that trying to find what drives us, instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel, is ultimately harmful and frustrating to job seekers. The title is a direct quote from comedian Steve Martin who, when once asked why he was successful in his career, immediately replied: "Be so good they can't ignore you" and that's the main basis for Newport's book. Skill and ability trump passion. Inspired by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs' famous Stanford University commencement speech in which Jobs urges idealistic grads to chase their dreams, Newport takes issue with that advice, claiming that not only is thsi advice Pollyannish, but that Jobs himself never followed his own advice. From there, Newport presents compelling scientific and contemporary case study evidence that the key to one's career success is to find out what you do well, where you have built up your 'career capital,' and then to put all of your efforts into that direction.

Technológie vo svojej podstate nie sú ani dobré, ani zlé. Kľúčom je používať ich na to, aby vám vo vašich cieľoch a hodnotách pomáhali, a nie nechať sa nimi využiť. Táto kniha vám ukáže ako na to. Na celom rade príkladov zo skutočného života vysvetľuje autor bežné návyky digitálnych minimalistov a myšlienky, na ktorých sú založené. Ukazuje, ako prehodnotiť svoj vzťah k sociálnym sieťam, znovu objaviť potešenie zo sveta „offline“ a prináša stratégie, ako tieto návyky začleniť do vášho života.

Hogyan szokjunk le a bizonyítottan nem hatékony multitaskingról? Miként szakadhatunk el a közösségi médiától? Hogyan szerezzük vissza a kontrollt időnk és figyelmünk felett? A mobilunkra szüntelenül érkező értesítések, a folytonos e-mailezés, a gyors válaszadás kényszere és a kimaradástól való félelem miatt a legtöbben mostanra elveszítettük az elmélyülés képességét: figyelmünk egyre inkább szétaprózódik, folyamatosan stresszelünk, és hamar elfáradunk. Ezért ha (újra) megtanulunk fókuszált figyelemmel összpontosítani a feladatainkra, akkor egyfajta szupererőre teszünk szert a 21. századi gazdaság egyre kiélezettebb versenyhelyzeteiben. Cal Newport az informatikatudomány docense és hatékonyságszakértő korszakalkotó könyvében tudományos kutatások eredményeit és kiemelkedően hatékony emberek szokásait vizsgálva bemutatja, hogy az elmélyült munkavégzés milyen előnyökkel jár. Négy szabályból álló programjával átalakíthatjuk az elménket és a szokásainkat, hogy gyorsabban jegyezhessünk meg bonyolult információkat, és érhessünk el jobb eredményeket. Így életünk nemcsak sikeresebbé, hanem tartalmasabbá és elégedettebbé is válhat.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and one of the world's top productivity experts, a groundbreaking philosophy for creating great work at a sustainable pace. Hustle culture. Burnout. Quiet quitting. Today we're either sacrificing ourselves on the altar of success or we're rejecting the idea of ambition entirely. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. Coined by Cal Newport, the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on three simple principles: 1. Do fewer things. 2. Work at a natural pace. 3. Obsess over quality. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work. From managing your energy according to the season, to identifying which projects to pursue and which to set aside, to building a schedule that yields maximum output with minimum stress, this timely and essential book will revolutionise how you work, helping you to accomplish great things at a more humane pace.
