New York Times bestselling author and productivity expert Cal Newport offers a radical vision for an email free workplace

Constant communication has become part of the way we work as we check our emails every 5.4 minutes. But at what expense?

Bestselling author 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.

In this visionary book, he reveals how to reimagine and redesign work without the constant pings of email distracting us. Drawing on a fascinating array of case studies and offering practical solutions, Newport shows us how a world without email will liberate people to do their most profound, fulfilling and creative work - and much more of it too.

Reviews for A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in the Age of Overload

Life is full of interruptions, but when a Cal Newport book appears, I drop everything and read. Newport is making an outrageous claim here: not just that email is annoying and overwhelming, but that we can and we will do much, much better. But with evidence and examples from the cutting edge of programming to the factory floors of a century ago, he makes a compelling argument. Read this superb book. It might just change your life; it's changing mine -- Tim Harford, author of 'How To Make The World Add Up' Cal Newport has proved himself as the most essential writer around, yet again making a compelling case for us to renegotiate our relationship with technology -- Bruce Daisley, author of Sunday Times #1 Bestseller The Joy of Work
