The Lost Art of Deep Work
The Challenge Book Club #05 - Deep Work by Cal Newport
Everybody has that one book — one that sparks real change on their growth journey. For me, that book was Deep Work by Cal Newport.
My journey started with a breakup.
It wasn't extraordinary, but it left me feeling shattered. I wasn’t prepared for that kind of pain and needed a way out of my frustration and confusion. Initially, I almost fell into toxic “win your ex back” advice. Luckily, I stumbled upon a video suggesting self-improvement as the true path forward and listened.
In the following months, I devoured personal growth books, hungry for ways to improve my life. And Deep Work finally gave me the clarity and practical tools to channel my energy into building something meaningful from scratch.
Three years later, that "something" became The Challenge.
Here's what I learned from Cal Newport’s powerful book, Deep Work.
