Today Mark is talking to Cal Newport about his new book A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload. Cal is a well-known digital minimalist and has been known to the Unbeatable Mind tribe since his first appearance on the show talking about his book Deep Work (Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World). Today he is talking about how email can be managed and how it has rewired our brains (not for the better).

Learn about:

• The hyperactive hive mind—we are not truly collaborating, so we end up getting stuck
• With emails, we force an interaction without proper facial cues and tone of voice— resulting in unnecessary misery to the recipient
• How our economy is now more dependant on knowledge work—yet thinking is becoming more difficult to do

Listen to this episode to hear more about how you can limit your email usage and become more productive as a whole.
