I'm Cal Newport and this is In Depth, a semi-regular series in which I talk to interesting people about the quest to cultivate a deep life. I'm excited about today's guest. It is the author Chris Grubot. He has a new book out called Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live. So clearly this book
topic is one that you know I'm going to be interested in and we have a good conversation about it. But I was also excited to have Chris on the show because he's a blast from the past for me. We intersect strongly back in that early stage of my career, the the 2000s, when I was blogging. I'd written my first student books and I had the Study Hacks blog and I knew Chris from back in that world. So we sort of go back and relive a little bit what that early stage of new media was like where blogs reigned supreme.
We talk about these fantastic conferences that Chris organized called the World Domination Summit, including this famous one within sort of our circles, the, I think it was the 2011 or 2012 World Domination Summit. You can find my video of me talking about so good they can't ignore you. It's online, but it's just like 800 person venue. And it brought together all of these different people at early stages in their career that would go on to do really interesting things.
