In this episode of IN-DEPTH, Cal is joined by Dr. Brian Keating, the Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor of Physics at UCSD, and one of the most prolific popularizers of science around (you may have seen him recently chatting about cosmology with Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman). They talk about Keating’s new book, HOW TO FOCUS LIKE A NOBEL PRIZE WINNER, as well as many other topics, including a deep look at Keating’s unusual path to academia, and a deconstruction of what’s needed to succeed at the highest levels of academia.Video from today’s episode: youtube.com/calnewportmediaINTERVIEW: Focus like a Nobel Prize Winner (w/ Brian Keating) [3:20]Links:https://www.amazon.com/Into-Impossible-Laureates-Collaboration-Imagination/dp/1544523491Sponsors:https://www.donedaily.comThanks to Jesse Miller for production, Kieron Rees for the theme music, and Mark Miles for mastering.
