Review of
Instaread Infographic of the book Deep Work by Cal Newport
One out of five stars
Newport defines
deep work to be the kind of work that pushes your mental abilities to their
limits. It requires full mind on task concentration and is contrasted with
shallow work, tasks that can be done utilizing only part of your mind. Nothing
new about this, everyone understands the difference between tasks that take all
your mind and those that do not.
This
infographic is itself a piece of shallow work. It is so simplistic in both
content and construction as to largely be a waste of time to look through it.
The infographic is structured in the same form as that of a children’s book.
Snippets of text at the bottom with a simple image above it. There is a human
in the images, but with little detail. Black glasses are the only facial
feature and the arms terminate with the angle of a polygon.
This book was made available for free for review
purposes and I am happy about that. Paying anything for it would have made me
unhappy.
