A World Without Email
Author: Cal Newport
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525536558
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
New York Times bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Cal Newport comes a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox--and unleashing a new era of productivity. Modern knowledge workers communicate constantly. Their days are defined by a relentless barrage of incoming messages and back-and-forth digital conversations--a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect, and so nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. There was a time when tools like email felt cutting edge, but a thorough review of current evidence reveals that the "hyperactive hive mind" workflow they helped create has become a productivity disaster, reducing profitability and perhaps even slowing overall economic growth. Equally worrisome, it makes us miserable. Humans are simply not wired for constant digital communication. We have become so used to an inbox-driven workday that it's hard to imagine alternatives. But they do exist. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, author and computer science professor Cal Newport makes the case that our current approach to work is broken, then lays out a series of principles and concrete instructions for fixing it. In A World without Email, he argues for a workplace in which clear processes--not haphazard messaging--define how tasks are identified, assigned and reviewed. Each person works on fewer things (but does them better), and aggressive investment in support reduces the ever-increasing burden of administrative tasks. Above all else, important communication is streamlined, and inboxes and chat channels are no longer central to how work unfolds. The knowledge sector's evolution beyond the hyperactive hive mind is inevitable. The question is not whether a world without email is coming (it is), but whether you'll be ahead of this trend. If you're a CEO seeking a competitive edge, an entrepreneur convinced your productivity could be higher, or an employee exhausted by your inbox, A World Without Email will convince you that the time has come for bold changes, and will walk you through exactly how to make them happen.

When God Stops Working
Author: Keith Ruckhaus
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1592440908
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
Christians today are desperate for biblical answers to the exhaustion that so many of us suffer from the pace and demands of modern life. Keith brings words of liberation and challenge to us all, articulating in this thoughtful exposition of scripture a higher demand than the clamor of culture. Savor in these pages the life-giving word of God's command that we find and make time for rest. Author and Pastor Dave Cheadle, Denver, Colorado Ruckhaus's study calls us back to the basics, and in so doing calls into question the very way we do our faith. The subject of God's Sabbath is therefore not just another doctrine or issue. How we grasp and understand this Day of days defines the kind of discipleship we are willing to profess and practice... This book will exact an effort on your part, which means it will demand your time. Alas, time you perhaps don't have. Ah, this could then be the first step toward keeping the Sabbath. You will have to lay aside something if you are to grasp the significance of Ruckhaus's insights. Don't just read this book; enter it. Let it affect you. For it demands a response. Take it up into your life and your lifestyle. Enter the rest God is giving. And don't forget to take others along. Charles E. Moore Plough Publishing Spring Valley Bruderhof, PA
