Good Neighbor Hampden Book Club: Slow Productivity by Cal Newport

Ready to kick off 2026 in a mental, emotional, and professional healthy way? I think Cal Newport's "Slow Productivity" book can help us do just that. Join me for an early-morning conversation over a warm latte at the cozy Good Neighbor cafe in Hampden. See you soon!

Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport is a book that advocates for a more sustainable approach to work, focusing on achieving meaningful results by doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality, rather than being busy. Newport argues this method, inspired by historical thinkers, helps knowledge workers escape the overwhelm of modern work culture by prioritizing deep, high-quality output over performative busyness, ultimately leading to greater accomplishment and less burnout.
