Disappointing, just a money grab
Most of this is pretty standard advice. Not a lot of new here. Found this a disappointment from Dr. Newport as his other books are so good. I imagine he sat down with his publicist and thought, "What else can I easily jot down just to make some cash?" I mean, come on, make your bed? Seriously?

Ok, but Newport can do better.
I listened to this book to get motivated for my 4th year of college, and found myself a bit dissapointed.
The book is aimed at an American audience, so a lot of the chapters will be irrelevant for international listeners. Some international listeners may also struggle to understand some of the college terms used in the book. The language otherwise is very clear and easy to understand.
There are a lot of very short chapters. This can actually be a good thing, how ever I wish some of the chapters contained real life examples, celebrity stories or references to studies. As this would help get Newport's message across.
I wish the book would be more objective, as some of the chapters seem to be Newport's subjective opinion. Some might find them useful others may not.
There are many great chapters, and I would recommend this book just for those. Most readers however, will find a lot of the chapters to be unnecessary, outdated or irrelevant. I would love if Newport decided to make a new revised edition to this book, as this was written back in 2005 and there has been a lot of technological advances in education since then.
