## Newport's Last Argument: Deep Work is Meaningful
|
||
|
|
1. What about being a craftsman supports deep work and a good life? How is that made more difficult with knowledge work?
|
||
|
|
* There is a inherent good feelign about having created somethign with your two hands. Furthermore it made more difficult when you make the practical output of it invisible.
|
||
|
|
2. What is the neurological arugment that supports depth? What are some of the main ways we lose depth and peace throughout our day?
|
||
|
|
* Whatever we focus our worldview on that is what we tend to pay close attention.
|

|
|
3. What was Mihaly Csikentmihalyi's discovery regarding the best moments in our days? What was supprising connection does she have with free time?
|
||
|
|
* Our best moments are those when we are in a state of flow. Free time is often less happy than people spending time at work.
|
||
|
|
4. How does craftsmanship support our need for meaning in a culture that tends to state that all meaning is self-generated?
|
||
|
|
* not to generate meaning but to cultivate in the skill of understanding of the object inside.
|
||
|
|
5. What is Newport's point regarding coding, craftsmen, and cathedrals?
|
||
|
|
* His point is that knowledge work can also have the same craftsman mindset as the physical craftsman
