What did you get from it? I read it, but like most self-help books - I felt like it could've been 1/4 the size. The book could've been 10-20 pages.

Once the message is clear, they become a slog IMO. The author was smart in coming up with something catchy like "deep work" to mean, you get shit done and do some of your best work and learning when you have time set aside being distraction free.

Beside the obvious "deep work", its the ability to be bored, and shut down time.

Have to agree. It can be summarized.
