Description
Feel like you're always drowning in email? How much more would you achieve without them - and how much happier would you be?
'A World Without Email crystallizes what so many of us feel intuitively but haven't been able to explain: the way we're working isn't working.' Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox
________________
Emails are an integral part of work today. But the 'kind regards', forwards and attachments we check every 5.4 minutes are making us unproductive, stressed and costing businesses millions in untapped potential.
Bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport, is here to offer a radical new vision - a world without email. Drawing on sociology, behavioural economics and fascinating case studies of thriving email-free companies, Newport explains how this modern tool doesn't work for our ancient brains and provides solutions you can implement today to transform your workday into one without constant, distracting pings.
Revolutionary and practical, A World Without Email will liberate you to do your most profound, fulfilling and creative work - and be happier too.

'This is a bold, visionary, almost prophetic book that challenges the status quo' Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism

Cal Newport legt dar, wie sich die moderne Arbeitswelt (zumindest der Wissensarbeitsbereich) zu einem "hyper-active hive mind" entwickelt hat, in der jede:r immer per E-Mail oder Messenger erreichbar ist und so die Aufmerksamkeit und damit das höchste Gut völlig fragmentiert wird. Er zeigt wieso sich das so entwickelt hat und wieso diese Arbeitsweise so schlecht für uns ist. Im typischen Cal Newport Style zieht er viele Fallbeispiele heran, analysiert diese und leitet Empfehlungen daraus ab. Wie immer gut zu lesen, einige interessante Punkte, insgesamt aber nicht mehr so gut wie noch [[Cal Newport – Deep Work]]. Auch zu wenig konkrete Hilfen, auch wenn es insgesamt nicht schlecht ist. Dennoch: nur drei Sterne, auch weil es im ersten Teil manchmal nicht sehr interessant ist und sich Newport viel Mühe gegeben hat, das Thema ordentlich auszuwälzen.
