Summary
"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.

Simple but compelling
Simple but compelling. It's a very light read but full with extremely valuable and curated information that comes solely from the latest research. Highly recommended

A must read for the modern day
This book was short, powerful and perfectly timed. I thoroughly enjoyed the thought-provoking chapters on how to raise children in the digital age.
The simplicity of the solution is striking and something I will definitely seek to implement in my own life.

Great book and very useful content
Some of the things mentioned in the book seem like common sense (like not sleeping with your phone nearby) but there's a lot of other useful information, tips, tricks and advice.
My only gripe is that the narrator sometime sounds like he's excited about revealing the secret of the universe when he's saying something average like "this is something you also can do". Must be an American thing 🤷♂️
