A Life-Changing Study Book

DEEP WORK by Cal Newport

Deep Work is one of those few books that I personally consider a life-changer. It’s what allowed me to excel on the LSAT with 1-3 hours of studying a day maximum. I still use its principles today, and encourage my students to do the same. I highly recommend this book, not only for the LSAT, but for Law School and whatever else your future holds.

The author, Cal Newport, is a Computer Science professor at Georgetown University who has made study habits and skills his life’s second work—besides computer science, of course. Deep Work takes a wealth of research on how our brains function in relation to studying, and gives helpful advice on how to maximize that time.

If you want to avoid being one of those LSAT students who spends 8 hours a day making little progress on their scores, this book is for you. (If you do want to be one of those students, this book is also for you—break that bad study habit!)
