"Brilliant and timely" — Oliver Burkeman


~ Do Fewer Things. Work at a Natural Pace. Obsess over Quality. ~

From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload


Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?

Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history’s most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs. Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers – from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O’Keefe – Newport lays out the key principles of “slow productivity,” a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment. Combining cultural criticism with systematic pragmatism, Newport deconstructs the absurdities inherent in standard notions of productivity, and then provides step-by-step advice for cultivating a slower, more humane alternative.

From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting your performance toward long-term quality, Slow Productivity provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. Slow productivity is exactly what we need.

This is an interesting book to listen to for anyone doing serious knowledge work. It has a helpful view on our current practice generally but also very practical suggestions that will come in handy for people personally as well. Recommended listen!

Slow Down thoughtfully

In of itself, the narrative behind the book is quite interesting and worth listening. The problem I am having is that Cal Newport speaks about "knowledge workers", but almost all the examples he is describing have little to do with the average office person. Rather he mostly talks about extremely successful persons, who, while struggling personally or professionally, tend to have a lot more leverage in changing their setting, than the regular, overworked person in a normal workplace.

This creates a highly distorted image, when it comes to solving the issues stemming from being overworked. A CEO or someone high up the corporate ladder, or maybe a high-income freelancer, might certainly find some usable advise in this book. But someone in the lower ranks will have a hard time talking to most bosses about these "solutions" to their problems.

A decent book with a big caveat

For me it was the already chewed chewing gum. Only the Jane Austen analysis I found interesting. The author had published great books, but this one was disappointing to me. Also he is not the best reader, I'm sorry to say, and the recording quality was rather poor.

Slow and boring, I'm sorry to say.
