More than a summary

I need more context to translate "Pürdikkat" accurately. This appears to be Estonian, but without knowing the book's subject matter or author, I cannot provide a definitive translation. However, if I must provide a translation based on the word itself: **Meticulous** or **Scrupulous** (The Estonian word "pürdikkat" relates to being extremely careful, precise, or meticulous about details) If you can provide the author name or book context, I could give you a more accurate translation of the actual published title.

Short summary

What's it about?

Cal Newport argues that the ability to perform Deep Work—cognitively demanding tasks requiring unbroken concentration—has become the scarcest and most valuable skill in an economy drowning in digital fragmentation. As screens, notifications, and shallow tasks colonize our hours, the capacity for sustained focus atrophies like an unused muscle. Newport's framework doesn't stop at productivity: it extends to leisure, transforming idle time from passive consumption into deliberate restoration.

You'll learn:

- Why shallow work creates the illusion of productivity

- How digital fragmentation erodes cognitive capacity over time

- The link between deep focus and meaningful leisure
