This is a great, fascinating, moving book (a memoir yes but several other things too)

Extraordinary story

Do you know this extraordinary paper by obscure Marxist theorist Jonah Peretti? Second half of first paragraph is so prescient

What emerges most powerfully is the sense that it's wrong to think of deep work as one more thing you've got to try to cram into your schedule. Truly committing to it, Newport suggests, transforms the rest of your time - so you'll crank through shallow work faster, be more present in your home life, and eliminate time wasted switching between tasks. Depth, in short, isn't at odds with a full life - it facilitates it. I'm persuaded.
