The bestselling author of Deep Work teaches you to be so good you won't be overlooked
Are you stuck in your professional life? Don't know what kind of work would bring you satisfaction and fulfillment? Just don't follow the overused advice to "follow your passion" and "do what you love" when looking for it. This lesson is not just a romantic myth, but downright dangerous - it leads to chronic fluctuation and anxiety once your dream inevitably hits the concrete wall of reality.
Cal Newport has better advice: feeling happy at work will not be brought about by your "dream job", but by your skills and your desirability on the labour market. The book disproves decades of career advice and shows that you can, and even must, build your ideal job yourself. And above all, it will teach you how to work your way up to it step by step.
