Cal Newport is a guide, a visionary, a role model to me and millions of others on living an intentional and productive life amidst our noisy, scatterbrained, tech-drenched world.
Heâs an MIT-trained computer science professor at Georgetown University and author of 10 books which have collectively sold over 2 million copies including âDeep Work,â âDigital Minimalism,â and his latest bestseller, âSlow Productivity.â
âI sometimes joke that my entire career is built on giving two-word terms to things everyone thinks and knows,â Cal says, but the truth is heâs doing a lot more than that.
Take âSlow Productivity.â
Heâs boiled this new phrase down into three principles: 1) Do fewer things, 2) Work at a natural pace, and 3) Obsess over quality.
Sounds simple, right? Trite, even! But thatâs when you raise your head and realize the world is conspiring against you doing any of these. Doesnât our world today reward⊠doing *more* things, working at an *unnatural* pace, and obsessing over *quantity*?
Thereâs a reason Cal has no social media apps on his phone. Why he has no social media accounts at allâŠand never has! With his books, and his wonderful podcast âDeep Questions,â he is focused on helping us find our way as we navigate ever-changing technology and work patterns that increasingly feel at odds with our shared quest of living intentional lives.
Cal has a giant mind and it was on full display in this chat as we discuss: how Cal measures success, the neuroscience of reading, Denis Villeneuve, the relationship between rest and work, the ideal age for unrestricted Internet access, The Washington Nationals, leetspeak and productivity pr0n, the role of books today and their future, Andrew Huberman, positive reinforcement theory, Jonathan Haidt and âThe Anxious Generation,â technology boundaries for children, and much, much moreâŠ

I got an email from longtime 3 Booker Bo Boswell who told me he found an enticingly-titled thread on reddit called âWhatâs your field or study (hobbyist or professional) and whatâs a cornerstone beginners book for that topic/field?â The most upvoted reply on the thread read: "Librarian here, Susan Orleanâs âThe Library Bookâ is at first glance a true-crime book about tracking the arsonist who set fire and burned down the main library in Los Angeles, but it also gives a comprehensive glimpse into contemporary libraries and their issues, especially updating a view of them if you havenât been inside one since you were a kid."
Bo picked up the book, loved it, and then wrote to me that "the amount of research and bizarre detail Orlean puts into her work is so engrossing.â Bizarre detail! I was convinced. I picked up âThe Library Bookâ and it blew me away. Reading it was like ⊠wandering a library. Surprising curiosity trails at every turn. I ended up putting the book in my Best Of 2023 and then went deeper into Susan Orleanâs back catalog where I found myself reading profiles like âThe American Man, Age 10â and a series of fascinating but unconventional obituaries about people like the inventor of Hawaiian Tropic or the first magician on the Las Vegas strip.
Iâve come to think of Susan Orlean as one of the best non-fiction writers on the planet. Sheâs been a Staff Writer for âThe New Yorkerâ since 1992 and has written more than 10 bestselling books including âThe Library Bookâ, âOn Animalsâ, âSaturday Nightâ, and âThe Orchid Thiefâ, which was turned into the movie âAdaptationâ, starring Meryl Streep in her Oscar-nominated role as ⊠yes, Susan Orlean.
Susan has an endless, unbridled curiosity â that âbizarre detailâ â which youâll see on full display in this conversation which begins by talking about how she organizes her shoes! Sheâs a writerâs writer who offers us a true masterclass and always reminds us that âstorytelling and knowledge-sharing is the essential human experience.â
We talk about organizing shoes and spices, what books do that nothing else does, finding the balance between professional and amateur, the genius of container ships, what great book design does, how to cultivate your writing voice, how you might organize your book, facing the fear of failure, LSD, the power of libraries, Susanâs 3 most formative books, and much, much more⊠I am so excited to share this conversation and hope youâll find it as endlessly inspiring, thoughtful as I did.

Itâs Oscar season!
I was so thrilled to see âPast Livesâ, the astounding slow-moving-yet-somehow-fast-paced debut film from Celine Song nominated for Best Picture. Best Picture! On her very first film. Oh, and no biggie, Best Screenplay, too. This following a slew of other noms like 5 Golden Globes, 3 Critics Choice Awards, 3 BAFTAs, and a recent Directorâs Guild of America win for Outstanding Directorial Achievement for a First-Time Feature Film.
Leslie and I loved âPast Livesâ so much we went back to theaters to see it again. The film had such unique energy as it told the story of Nora and Hae Sung, two childhood friends in South Korea, who lose touch when Noraâs family emigrates, and then seem to be forever-chasing the goodbye they never had.
The film opens with a late-night bar scene of Hae Sung visiting Nora and her husband in New York before scrolling back to tell the unpredictable, jumping-around-the-decades story of how they got there. Every shot was such a sumptuous visual feast â from silhouetted lineups for the Staten Island Ferry to broken-transmission Skype calls to a final waiting-for-an-Uber scene that deserves its own prize. And the writing! Crisp. Punctuating. So much said ... with so little. âPast Livesâ is a truly magical film that I canât recommend enough. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes also means thereâs a great chance your movie-going pal will love it, too.
I was thrilled âPast Livesâ director, writer, and filmmaker wunderkind Celine Song joined me on 3 Books from her New York apartment to talk about the Korean concept of in-yun, why weâre drawn to stories, what unique role millennials play as the last pre-Internet-immersive generation, how a cannibalistic orgy makes for great literature, a surprising cure for loneliness, why sensory deprivation increases chemistry, the other job of a director, Celineâs 3 most formative books, and much, much more...

Back in Chapter 101 of â3 Booksâ we had a magical, eve-of-âEverything-Everywhere-All-At-Onceâ-coming-out moment-in-time conversation with creative super-geniuses Daniels â who are Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. We were discussing the fascinating book 'Sex At Dawn' and our conversation led to discussing Dunbarâs Number.
Dunbarâs Number! Have you heard of Dunbarâs Number? Itâs 150! Thatâs the cognitive limit on the number of social relationships we can have. We, as in humans. Limit, as in our brains canât handle any more. The number was coined, of course, by Oxford Emeritus Professor, Anthropologist, Evolutionary Psychologist, and General All-Round Super-Genius Robin, yes you guessed it, Dunbar. âThere are only eight people with numbers named after them,â Robin says, with a grin. âAnd the other seven people are dead.â (Shoutout to Avogadro!)
Now: 150 is one in a series of numbers. More intimately: We have 15 âshoulders to cry on friendsâ, those whoâd drop everything to help us or for whom weâd drop everything to help. And our cognitively limited brains can handle 500 âacquaintancesâ and even 5000 âtotal faces.â But 150? Thatâs the limit for âfriendsâ. No wonder 150 is the average wedding size, itâs the average number of total people who 'see your Christmas cardâ, and itâs even the average size of 8000-year-old Middle East villages and 1000-year-old English countryside villages.
Once you start seeing this number â itâs hard to stop. But: Why is it important? Well, because friendships, the trust between all of us, itâs ⊠at an all-time low. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy (our guest in Chapter 66!) has declared a âlonelinessâ epidemic with 1 in 2 adults feeling alone now â higher than ever before in history. (Doesnât sound too bad till you realize loneliness is worse for our health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day!) Meanwhile, the Harvard Adult Development Study, the longest study ever on happiness, says that friendship and community is the number one source of happiness.
So enter: Robin Dunbar! Wise, cheery, and ever-eloquent, heâs got a massive mind capable of distilling more than five decades of scientific work â and 16 published books including âHow Religion Evolvedâ, âHow Many Friends Does One Person Need?â, and âFriendsâ â into simple observations, prophecies, and advice on how we can all live richer, more fulfilling lives.
I found this an astoundingly nutritious conversation and we talk about: how to raise children, what HR departments *should* be doing, what youâre doing wrong when you go to the gym, why religion âdies during times of peace and revives during times of warâ, the death and finding of our deep community, Robinâs 3 most formative books, and much, much, *much* more...
