Ep. 357: What Worries the Internet’s Favorite Philosopher?

I'm Cal Newport and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating depth in a distracted world. Normally I would say here that I'm in my Deep Work HQ, but I'm not. I'm actually recording live from a hotel room in Anaheim across the street from Disneyland. I just gave a talk here this morning at the Anaheim Convention Center. Distance can't keep us away and it can't keep my intrepid producer Jesse away.

Jesse is joining me remotely. Jesse, how are things going back there in the Tacoma Park studio? We're holding down the fort, baby. There we go. I miss it already.

I missed the gear, though it is kind of cool. Uh as you know, those who who have listened to the show for a while and know about my book recommendations, during the pandemic I went on this binge where I was just reading books about Disney. the company, the man, like everything Disney related. I think I read like a dozen books. So I as I was walking around, I didn't go in Disneyland today, but as I was walking around, I was thinking, oh, I know way too much about this.
