Publisher's 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.

Doesn't fall into the demonisation of tech!
I loathe many of these latest tech self-help books which decry smartphones as the fall of civilisation as we know it. Eyal doesn't fall into this trap and cites a bunch of super interesting studies suggesting how positive tech use can be for us! I like the attention drawn to self-regulatory strategies and internal triggers and reading this should give you a bit of a preliminary understanding of why we get hooked to our devices and how we can free ourselves.

Useful and not too long
really loved it and has wisdom that can apply to us all. I found it easy to skip parts (eg. kids) that didn't apply to me. It skims the surface of all the concepts well and doesn't go into too much depth. it teaches you not only the concepts, but how to apply them.

Great Book
This was an excellent book which changed the way I worked in an immediate manor. It helped me to identify why I procrastinate and how to create habits to overcome the productivity killer which is procrastination. Highly recommend this audiobook.

Some great ideas.
I started listening to this in the hope that I would take away some pointers for making my days more productive. On reflection, it was probably an attempt at procrastination... Fortunately, there are many practical ideas that I can - and have already begun to - implement.
One thing I didn't expect, was to come out of this book with ideas on how to tackle my kids obsessions with tech. This was worth the price of admission on its own.
