Deep work challenges people to regularly accomplish difcult and meaningful tasks. It produces their most fulflling and selfenriching work, and a profound satisfaction which can beneft their life more widely. As Csikszentmihalyi explains, people who are able to regularly access fow states “lead vigorous lives, are open to a variety of experiences, keep on learning until the day they die, and have strong ties and commitments to other people and to the environment in which they live. They enjoy whatever they do, even if tedious or difcult; they are hardly ever bored, and they can take in stride anything that comes their way. Perhaps their greatest strength is that they are in control of their lives.”
