In Flanders Fields, by John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

Notes Introduction What is deep work? Spending a long amount of time alone and working hard on a problem. People have made big progress on important things in isolation. Jung had a tower that he worked in while trying to beat Freud' theories. Bill Gates has think weeks where he’d spend 2 weeks with no technology, just reading and thinking “big thoughts”. A knowledge worker is someone who’s job requires them to think for a living: programmers, doctors, scientists, lawyers, academics.

Man speak. Notes Introduction A Castle in the Air Perpetual Motion The Forces of Destruction A Reef of Dead Metaphors The Forces of Creation Craving for Order The Unfolding of Language Epilogue Thoughts Notes Introduction The word “going” transitioned slowly from talking about movement to talking about the future.

Personal Thoughts This was a great book! I read the whole thing in three days! It felt like a practical version of [[Thinking, Fast and Slow]]?? , but taken from a more self-help direction and written by a member of the rationalist community. There wasn’t much beating around the bush, it was pretty direct the whole time and stated things very, very clearly. I also liked how she included a bunch of examples and that the examples didn’t have any particular bias.
