Interesting book, but it is pretty thin on the information conveyed in it.
Mostly it is background story and a lot of pages are filled with sketchnotes from other people, which can serve as inspiration, but I would have preferred less of that and more training examples or more information.

I also have the follow-up to this book which is aimed at more advanced techniques, so maybe that one will be better.

Decent book, but I had much higher hopes for it, especially in regards to other people´s ratings of the book.

The subject is very interesting and the book details the benefits of deep work, as well as some points on how to do deep work.
However, I thought the book became kind of repetitive after a while, with too many examples of success stories, instead of examples on how to actually do deep work.

For me, albeit an exaggeration, the book pretty much tells you to really focus on the problems you face in your work, which will lead you to become much greater in that field.
The underlying meaning is simply put to stay focused on the task at hand and work through it, instead of giving up, which I definitely agree with the writer on is the main cause for most people failing at things, but I was expecting the book to be more about how to achieve deep work, not why it is important.

Really inspirational book.
I was surprised by how much focus on philosophy there were, but in a positive way.

I would have liked some more examples in the part about the actual system though, directly from the creator of the Bullet Journal system. However, the internet is full of Bullet Journal examples, so that is okay.
