About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the best-selling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work comes a radical vision of a world without email - a world with increased creativity, productivity, collaboration and calm.
You start the day checking your inbox, spend hours fruitlessly triaging the onslaught of requests and information, then when 5:30 p.m. rolls around you realise with crushing stress that you haven't even got to the most important items on your to-do list yet. Sound familiar?
Constant communication has become part of the way we work and we check our bursting inboxes on average every 5.4 minutes. But at what expense?
In A World Without Email, Cal Newport argues that this steady flow of distractions disrupts us from achieving any meaningful work, causes us undue stress and is costing businesses millions in the form of untapped potential. Newport shows us how to completely reimagine and redesign workflow and processes without the constant pings of emails distracting us.
Drawing on a fascinating array of case studies of thriving email-free companies and offering clear, practical solutions you can implement today, this radical book shows us how dramatically reducing email will liberate people to do their most profound, fulfilling and creative work - and much more of it, too.

When actionable advice finally begins, apparently it's focused on the software organizations and the main tip is around just one system which is trivial to figure out and already is widely spread.
It should have been a Medium article or a Twitter thread, not a full book.
Too long and action starts too late

Could really do with tighter editing as some of it repetitive.
Could also do with better chapter summaries and a final summary as it’s hard to take out key points from discursive text. James Clear Atomic Habits is good at this
Good ideas but quite a lot too long

It feels like a ratio of ten pages of theory to one page of implementation.
Occasionally he mentions things like extreme programming or some other practical implementations of similar ideas to his and as a reader you think: now I would like to read their book.
Great ideas with little practicality
