Book Club: Deep Work

The Penn Club of Chicago is excited to host a book club discussion centered around Cal Newport's acclaimed work, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. This thought-provoking book delves into the concept of cultivating focus in an increasingly fragmented and distraction-filled world. Newport presents actionable strategies for achieving a state of deep work, where one can perform cognitively demanding tasks with exceptional productivity and creativity. The discussion will provide an engaging platform for attendees to share insights on how these principles can be applied to their professional and personal lives.

The book club is an excellent opportunity for Penn alumni and friends to connect over their shared interest in professional development and meaningful work. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, corporate leader, or simply looking to boost your personal effectiveness, this gathering will offer valuable takeaways. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own challenges with focus and distraction, fostering a lively and enriching conversation. Join us for an evening of networking and deep dialogue that promises to inspire actionable change in your approach to work and life.
