I listen to the Deep Life podcast every week, so I had been waiting for this book for long (I even requested it for my local library here in Taipei). I feel grateful for all the advice Cal and his co-host constantly share, as it has helped me to be more successful in my PhD and job, without compromising my life (and sleep!) quality. Yet, this book is just a dumbed-down regurgitation of what the podcast has been covering for years. I am not stating that it is all bad, but that it's nothing new, which was also the problem with his previous book “A world without email”.
I think Cal's advice is immensely valuable, but I'd recommend his podcast or “Deep Work” instead of this book.
