About this listen
"Indistractable provides a framework that will deliver the focus you need to get results." (James Clear, author of Atomic Habits)
You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. Later, as you're about to get back to work, a colleague taps you on the shoulder to chat. At home, screens get in the way of quality time with your family. Another day goes by, and once again, your most important personal and professional goals are put on hold.
What would be possible if you followed through on your best intentions? What could you accomplish if you could stay focused and overcome distractions? What if you had the power to become "indistractable"?
International best-selling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley's handbook for making technology habit-forming. Five years after publishing Hooked, Eyal reveals distraction's Achilles' heel in his groundbreaking new book.
In Indistractable, Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices: Abstinence is impractical and often makes us want more.
Eyal lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model. Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.
Inside, Eyal overturns conventional wisdom and reveals:
- Why distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional company culture - and how to fix it
- What really drives human behavior and why "time management is pain management"
- Why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on you becoming indistractable
- How to raise indistractable children in an increasingly distracting world
Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention - helping you live the life you really want.

Nir narrates his writing with passion and pace, and as you'd expect with full attention. I enjoyed the two part structure, the concepts are logically laid out with a steady progression of topics building on the previous. In the second half applying the techniques in the real word and the main domains of our lives are covered comprehensively and are easy to understand or implement.
The accompanying work-book is very useful for parts that are relevant to the reader/listener to exercise the strategies and techniques the book offers, on the journey of becoming Indistractable. I AM INDISTRACTABLE....well not fully yet but I'm definitely on my way, and a lot more than what I was prior to reading. I've bought the paperback copy just to refer to on the go.
I recommend this for anyone ranging from personal self growth advocates, to parents, to entrepreneurs and workers. Thank you Nir for a great piece of work.
