ABOUT THE BOOK 

This power-packed set by Cal Newport provides a counter-intuitive blueprint for professional mastery in the modern age. So Good They Can't Ignore You debunks the "follow your passion" myth, arguing instead that passion is a side effect of acquiring rare and valuable skills (the "craftsman mindset"). Complementing this, Deep Work serves as a practical guide to cultivating the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks. Together, they teach readers how to build "career capital" and thrive in an increasingly distracted, shallow-work economy by mastering the art of intense concentration.
