GOODREADS BEST SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY OF 2019 FINALIST
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? What if you had the power to become “indistractable?”
International bestselling 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.

Bite-sized chapters makes this an easy book to digest
Being indistractable is a bold claim for someone to suggest. Funnily enough, I became distracted with other books while reading this one. The format: bite-sized chapters that made it so easy to consume also made it easy to drop it. But that could also be a good thing. It just means that this is a book you can pick up and jump straight to the section which deals with the challenge you’re facing.Having read other works on this topic, I think this is a practical and useful resource but don’t expect this to go in depth.

How to avoid the ‘dings, pings, and rings’ in your life to take back your mind!
An interesting and easy-to-read book highlighting how easily the human mind is distracted, and more importantly the methods that you can employ to avoid this distraction. Nir showcases how technology is designed with your psychology in mind in order to attract your attention and kidnap your thinking.I really liked how Nir doesn’t blame the technology (maybe the designers of said technology a bit LOL) but rather embraces the good that technology offers us while using it to help fight back against the never-ending “dings, pings, and rings”.I suggest that you consider sharing this book with your children after you read it so that they understand how tech has been designed to capture their attention and then arm them with the means to help protect themselves.

This book will change your life
This book taught me how to take control over my thoughts, and decide where to put my attention into. It has helped me perform better in school, relationships, and to work for longer duration of time. Highly recommend!

People Pleaser No More
I realized I was essentially being a people pleaser by giving in to distractions and immediately responding to texts, Teams, emails and more.I was always “available” and “so helpful”. Ultimately, at the cost of losing my peace of mind and focus.This book has helped me “defend my focus” and my prioritize traction toward my goals first before giving in to distractions that serve others’ agenda.Love the book. Highly apt for the world we live in today, and unfortunately, the importance of this book will only increase with every year passing.

This book gets to the REAL root cause of distraction
The clear and entertaining lessons shared in this book have helped me become more productive in a way that no app, mind hack, or force of pure will ever could. It gives you the tools you need to proactively become more focused WITHOUT the usual guilt trip that modern experts love to lay on heavier than the almond butter I spread on my morning toast.What I love most about Indistractible is that it pokes holes in the usual scapegoat excuse we all blame our lack of focus on…technology. Tech isn’t the problem. There’s something deeper going on. Until you acknowledge that, you’ll keep incessantly checking Facebook in search of a temporary escape from life’s discomfort.This is by far the best book I’ve read on the topic of becoming more productive. Since implementing what I’ve learned I’m better able to “surf the urge” to check email constantly or mindlessly scroll IG the minute I’m mentally challenged in my work. The strategies inside work both long and short-term and while I’ve yet to implement all of them, even the shift in mindset that I’ve had around WHY we’re driven to distraction has made a huge difference in my ability to do the work, fight against “the resistance” as Pressfield calls it, and feel good about what I’ve accomplished at the end of the day.

Insight for those who are attached to their work 24/7
I really liked this book. I think the younger working generation needs to have this as their new working bible.

Some useful advice coming from a skewed approach
This book has some useful tips, but it comes from an approach which places the onus on users to respond to tech companies. All the while, tech companies are exploiting human psychology in ways similar to that of gambling, making us into addicts reliant on the hit of social media and devices. Nir knows this, as you’ll be well aware of if you’ve read his previous work. To some extent, yes, we should be responding on an individual level to the threats to our attention that tech companies are posing, but at the end of the day, our response will only take us so far when this addictive behaviour is the cultural norm. Try navigating the world without a smart phone and social media presence and you’ll find that it’s becoming more and more difficult. I would argue that it’s the tech overlords that need to be regulated. In that regard, this book misses the point entirely.

Excelente libro que hable sobre la psicología actual de las distracciones, como saber cuando estás distraído y estrategias practicas para poder enfocarte en cualquier contexto de tu vida personal, intima y laboral. Muy recomendado

This book provides a novel and quite interesting ways of dealing with distraction in our day to day lives. I was feeling this pressure of distraction while acquiring a new skill within a really short span of time and my struggles with distraction really dampened my spirits. So I turned to this book to see if it can help me improve my output. The four key take-aways – Master your internal trigger by surfing the urge and 10 min rule, Remove external triggers and replace them with things you want to do, PIE (Price, Individuality and Effort) pacts to gain traction and lastly Timeboxing the time even for distraction. I will not say I have become completely indistractable but I have embarked on a journey with the help of this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is on a journey to work upon him/ herself to become better version as each day passes.

If you can focus well enough to finish the book you likely do not need the book. Its a decent book though.
