Georgetown computer scientist Cal Newport
As we relaunch The Technoskeptic Magazine’s podcast, we thought we’d start with an evergreen episode, an interview with NY Times bestselling author Cal Newport, on his book, Deep Work. You might think, being a computer scientist, Cal’s prescription for hyperproductivity would be to immerse yourself in all the latest and best tech productivity tools. We won’t steal Cal’s thunder, but that is about 180 degrees from Cal’s advice. For a computer scientist, Cal is rather hard to reach via email. That’s not an accident. It’s part of his philosophy that focused concentration–so elusive in our overstimulated world–is the key to a better and more rewarding work and personal life.
