In a world where technology and Internet have become the norm, author and computer science professor Cal Newport raises the idea that the workplace has become surrounded with email and digital messaging, which actually worsens our productivity and ability to form connections like we once did in the workplace. His book, A World Without Email, introduces readers to alternatives from a workplace fueled by the inbox, alongside directions to “fix” the modern working environment towards effective communication, increased productivity, and an improved relationship to the workplace.
Whether you’re a boss or employee struggling with productivity or fulfillment in your work, A World Without Email will provide you with the necessary steps and alternatives towards building meaningful connections and meaning in your working environment, away from an over-dependence on the digital world.
