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.

Most practical book I ever read

Indistractable was the book I always wanted. I wish I could have read when I was in my teens. Life would have been different. However, as it is said, “ every day can be a new start”. Even before finishing the book, I got more control of my time, living more fulfilled day. Very soon I will get my Superpowers. Thanks Nir

Some gold nuggets to be found

Loved the overall book, there are some time tested facts on how to be indistractable. I got quite a few things out of this book. I'm sure anyone will be bit more wiser by reading this. My wish is around getting more hands on experiments for an individual & group\couple thereof. Really fascinating part is one with managing traction & distraction with kids (thank you so much Nir for this!)

Would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a helping hand for his busy life :)

well-researched and thought-provoking

It's worth practicing the techniques proposed in this book (using the workbook), to become indistractable and enhance one's productivity.
