Mr. Newport is correct.

He's still correct in an AI world. Focused nepotism is much more effective than running around on dinner parties, dropping cards here and there, or mindlessly spamming the accounts of the rich gods.

Deep Work is a good book, unlike his first one.

So Good They Can't Ignore You has a decent premise and some useful principles (e.g. career capital), but is extremely poorly executed if you analyze it. There is contradicting examples, narrow examples and just dismissing behavioural theory and the job market for the sake of the main premise. Too little structured advice and it often works mainly for a tiny demographic of rich nerds.
No wonder, since the fag just wanted to sell a book when he proposed this.

What's the basics of this book?
I asked AI and it said its about working in 60-90 minute work blocks

More like "So Goy They Can't Ignore You". All these productivity faggots are the same, you can find the same reading any random post on LessWrong.

it also promotes planning the exact work youre going to do so you dont end up like an autopilot wagie, and the idea of making yourself completely unavailable in that time so youre not interrupted during focused work

As far as I remember, it talks about a few ways to schedule your work and eliminate distractions. And how to keep at it and be consistent.
It's not groundbreaking, but he presents it in a fairly short book and gives it structure.

Seriously, decent for what? Learning how to be a greater cuck, delivering more value for your bosses and paying more taxes? I used to be the same, but trust me its not worth paying for it with your finite time on this planet or the pieces of your soul they end up consuming.

Dear African-American, the "career capital" in discussion (with all the drawbacks of the book) allows you to work on your own terms and be your own boss if you want to.

I tried to read this but I kept getting sidetracked.

its more of an early career book for people in their 20s, I found the book at a time when i was very ambitious, but inefficient because i hadnt developed basic productivity habits. i could see my life sliding towards eternal wageslavery if i continued being mediocre. the OP author helped frame the daily grind in terms of metagaming, and i found it useful for focusing my daily tasks around a bigger picture, and not being a reactionary wagie fighting new fires every day. i ended up getting into ethereum and now i havent worked or thought about productivity maxing in a long time.

If youre 10 years into a dead end job then its likely already over

I.e the productivity-maxxing was never really relevant. You either invest and luck out with that, or you keep waging.

its about mindset, the type of person that complains how pointless it is to try to increase productivity isnt usually the kind of person to go big on an outside-the-box investment. theyre going to be the type yelling that bitfucks are going to zero.

No. Investing in the financial markets is not the topic of the book.
Nor is trying to luck out in the market a smart way to plan your life.

Maybe. Or maybe not.

Studs Terkel:
Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression
Scary how close the political and financial situation now resembles the lead-up to the Great Depression.

This is really good. Take the formula and point it at any problem. Not just business. Maybe your problem is that you can't come up with a compelling plot for the novel you're writing. Still applies.

Recommended reading for anyone who holds a non trivial amount of BTC
