| 0:00.0 | I'm Cal Newport, and this is Deep Questions, episode 75. |
| 0:21.5 | Quick announcements. |
| 0:23.2 | So my new book, A World Without Email, comes out tomorrow. |
| 0:27.7 | That's Tuesday, March 2nd here in the US. |
| 0:30.3 | It's released in the UK on March 4th. |
| 0:34.6 | So that's good news in part because it means I don't have to keep talking about it soon during |
| 0:40.8 | these quick announcements. Two quick points on the book. First, if you pre-order the book, |
| 0:48.2 | you know, again, you have my appreciation, you get access to this email Academy course, |
| 0:53.8 | we're going to keep that open all day on March 2nd. So even if you buy the book at any point |
| 0:58.2 | on March 2nd, you'll still be able to register your purchase and get access to that email Academy |
| 1:05.2 | course. I just finished actually the final video today for the course. It's about 45 minutes |

| 1:24.8 | I think, the way we're going to do this is these videos are really going to be, they're going to |
| 1:28.1 | be posted unlisted, but in a shareable way. So there's a little benefit to getting access to |
| 1:33.1 | this Academy is if you're trying to convert someone over to the Cal Newport mindset and you're not |
| 1:36.9 | sure if they're going to read the whole book, you will probably be able to just surreptitiously |
| 1:42.5 | send them one or two of these videos. You think they'll get right to the heart of the matter. |
| 1:46.3 | So anyways, if you pre-ordered the book, even if you buy it on March 2nd, just go to calnewport.com |
| 1:52.6 | slash pre-order. And as I mentioned last time, honestly, just the biggest bonus I can give you |
| 1:58.0 | as my thanks is just useful for the book launch, the more people who buy it in advance. Also, |
