About This Book

Cal Newport challenges the conventional 'follow your passion' advice, arguing that career satisfaction is instead the result of developing rare and valuable skills. He introduces the 'craftsman mindset' and the concept of 'career capital' to demonstrate how mastery and deliberate practice lead to control, impact, and a fulfilling professional life.
