I'm a fan of Cal's work. His books Digital Minimalism and Deep Work pushed me toward making changes that have positively changed my life, at work and at home. I listen to his Deep Questions podcast and it is also great. But I can't help but think that this book is a repackaging of his podcast. It also doesn't feel as deep and well-worth the time as his other books. It was really short, it didn't go super deep into the topic like he has done in previous books, and it could have been a blog post. One of the pivotal stories in this book about the singer/songwriter Jewel was completely spoiled for me on his podcast MONTHS before I read the book.
Unless you find it on sale, skip it.
