À propos de ce titre
A New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller

From New York Times bestselling author Cal Newport comes a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox--and unleashing a new era of productivity.


Modern knowledge workers communicate constantly. Their days are defined by a relentless barrage of incoming messages and back-and-forth digital conversations--a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect, and so nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. There was a time when tools like email felt cutting edge, but a thorough review of current evidence reveals that the "hyperactive hive mind" workflow they helped create has become a productivity disaster, reducing profitability and perhaps even slowing overall economic growth. Equally worrisome, it makes us miserable. Humans are simply not wired for constant digital communication.

We have become so used to an inbox-driven workday that it's hard to imagine alternatives. But they do exist. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, author and computer science professor Cal Newport makes the case that our current approach to work is broken, then lays out a series of principles and concrete instructions for fixing it. In A World without Email, he argues for a workplace in which clear processes--not haphazard messaging--define how tasks are identified, assigned and reviewed. Each person works on fewer things (but does them better), and aggressive investment in support reduces the ever-increasing burden of administrative tasks. Above all else, important communication is streamlined, and inboxes and chat channels are no longer central to how work unfolds.

The knowledge sector's evolution beyond the hyperactive hive mind is inevitable. The question is not whether a world without email is coming (it is), but whether you'll be ahead of this trend. If you're a CEO seeking a competitive edge, an entrepreneur convinced your productivity could be higher, or an employee exhausted by your inbox, A World Without Email will convince you that the time has come for bold changes, and will walk you through exactly how to make them happen.

Great if you read his previous books or if you hate traditional office life. As a Software Engineer there is still a lot to learn despite being very familiar with Agile.

Thank you Cal Newport

It feels like the author desperately wants to coin the term hyperactive hive mind. I found the chain of argumentation week and not all stories as relevant as the author wants them to be. There is also a lot of repetition. I couldn't finish it.

does not resonate with me

The first part of the book is great: Examples, analyses ect. However the 2nd part has gotten me shaking my head more than once. Ok we'e supposed to: outsource, timebox and use project software and generallly make ourselves sifficult to communicate with. Oh and do in person meetings (very applicable in COVID times). The authors solutions are not as new as he presents them and defenitely not as applicable as he states for every work situation. Hence: skip the 2nd part and stick to the first.

Another flaw of this audiobook: The speaker manages to mispronounce the word detail throughout the whole book and the book is quite repetitive regarding this word. 2h into the book you start to be bothered by it, after 7 you resent it.

All in all however practicable, therefor a total 3 star

One deTAIL to rule them all
