Cal Newport is a computer science professor at Georgetown University. He has written two highly acclaimed in the online space books, whether it's so good they can't ignore you or deep work. His first book came out around the time he was entering the academic job market.
Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, and the author most recently of Deep Work, a book which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace, and So Good They Can’t Ignore You, a book which debunks the long-held belief that “follow your passion” is good advice.
In addition to studying the theoretical foundations of our digital age as a professor, Newport also writes about the impact of these technologies on the world of work.
