I'm Cal Newport, and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life

in a distracted world.

So I'm here in my Deep Work H.Q.

joined, as always by my producer, Jesse.

Jesse, I was just down at People's Book, our bookstore here in the

Going Park, signing a bunch more books.

So I think the listeners have heeded my call to consider an autographed version of

slow productivity as a what I'm calling a New Year's gift, a gift to yourself or someone else

you know who's looking to improve parts of their work life in the new year. So I'm always happy

to go down there and sign more books. So if you, if you all keep ordering at the

people's book.com. Or I think it's people's book Tacoma.com. Whatever. People's book in Tacoma.

Go to their website. You can order the sign copies. I'll keep signing them. They'll keep sending them out.

That's a people's book to coma. People's book Tacoma.com. Did you buy any books when you were down there?

I don't know if I bought last time I was down. I don't know if I did.

I just a surgical strike came in, signed some books.

Always happy to do it.

A shout out to make actually from from friends of the show, Jesse.

You know the the my body tutor guys.

Yeah.

You know, and I've known Adam for a long time.

He used to give fitness advice on the study hacks blog back in the old days.

You know, Adam, you know, he wrote me, I don't know, it's like a year ago now.
