About this ebook
From Scribd: About the Book
Learn to take charge of your attention and get a hold of your life with Indistractable, a book about focus and attention that helps readers reach their fullest potential. Author Nir Eyal asks you to think about what would be possible in your life if you could control your focus just a little bit better and shares his wisdom on becoming Indistractable.
Limiting distractions is difficult. With screens, family, friends, constant notifications, and so many social media applications, distractions in our life are at an all-time high. Eyal, an International bestselling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert knows that technology is built to be habit-forming. In fact, he was one of the people who helped design attention-grabbing technology.
In Indistractable, he discusses the psychology around keeping us hooked on our technology and how we can combat it in our daily lives. His practical wisdom on the subject takes an approach that doesn't involve abstinence. After all, abstinence often leaves us wanting it more, and when it comes to technology, it's often impractical. Eyal presents an easy-to-understand guide on how to limit distractions without cutting technology out of your life completely.
