"So Good They Can't Ignore You" was written by Newport, who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) and earned a PhD. from MIT. He contends that the pursuit of finding what drives us, instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel, is ultimately harmful and frustrating for job seekers. The title of the book is a direct quote from comedian Steve Martin, who, when once asked why he was successful in his career, immediately replied: "Be so good they can't ignore you" - and this sentiment forms the main basis for Newport's work.

"The One Thing" encourages readers to want LESS - fewer distractions and less on their plate. The daily barrage of e-mails, texts, tweets, messages, and meetings distracts and stresses people out. The simultaneous demands of work and family are taking a toll. And what's the cost? Second-rate work, missed deadlines, smaller pay cheques, fewer promotions, and lots of stress.

"Deep Work" refers to the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. Coined by author and professor Cal Newport on his popular blog Study Hacks, deep work will make you better at what you do, allow you to achieve more in less time, and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from the mastery of a skill.

Finally, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. 'GTD' is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots. Since its first publication almost fifteen years ago, this book has become a staple in the world of productivity and time management.
