Slow Productivity: The Secret Art of Stress-Free Productivity (Spanish Edition)

From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload.

Our current definition of "productivity" is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We're overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?

Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history's most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs.

Drawing on a diverse body of success stories, from Carl Jung's 12-year voluntary retreat to avoid burnout to Nobel laureate Richard Feynman's relentless pursuit of quality over quantity, Newport introduces a bold new framework he calls Slow Productivity. This approach rejects the frenetic hustle of the modern workplace, instead emphasizing three core principles:

Do Fewer Things. Work at a Natural Pace. Obsess over Quality.

By implementing these principles, readers will learn how to: - Ruthlessly prioritize their tasks and commitments, eliminating the nonessential - Adopt a more measured, deliberate cadence to their work, aligning with their natural rhythms - Shift their focus away from short-term deadlines and quantity-based metrics, and towards creating work of enduring value

The world of work needs a new revolution, and Slow Productivity is exactly what we need. This philosophy offers a pathway to escape the modern overload trap, allowing us to reclaim the joy of meaningful accomplishment.

With compelling historical case studies, actionable advice, and a vision for a better future, this book will forever change how you approach your work. Prepare to do less, work slower, and achieve more.
