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. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists, and scholars who worked in this way, like Galileo, Isaac Newton, Jane Austen, Georgia O'Keefe, Jack Kerouac, Maya Angelou, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work.
