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.

Why do some products capture our attention, while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us? This audiobook introduces listeners to the "Hooked Model", a four-step process companies use to build customer habits. Through consecutive cycles through the hook, successful products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back repeatedly - without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.

Story
As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.

For the first time in history, we have instantaneous access to the world’s knowledge. There has never been a better time to learn, to contribute, and to improve ourselves. Yet, rather than feeling empowered, we are often left feeling overwhelmed by this constant influx of information. The very knowledge that was supposed to set us free has instead led to the paralyzing stress of believing we’ll never know or remember enough. Now, this eye-opening and accessible guide shows how you can easily create your own personal system for knowledge management, otherwise known as a Second Brain.

The surprising answers are found in Making Habits, Breaking Habits, a leading psychologist’s popular examination of one of the most powerful and underappreciated processes in the brain.

Change comes most readily when you understand what's standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that roadblock. If you want to work out more but find exercise difficult and boring, downloading a goal-setting app probably won't help. But what if, instead, you transformed your workouts so they became a source of pleasure instead of a chore? Turning an uphill battle into a downhill one is the key to success.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

In Disconnected, renowned psychotherapist and longtime school counselor Tom Kersting explores the device-dependent world our children live in and how it is impacting their mental and emotional well-being.

Well-narrated and helpful
This was one of the best read audiobooks I have listened to in a long time. Nir Eyal narrates his own book here as if he is just presenting on a topic he knows very well rather than reading from a page. He's animated, funny, and clear. It was educational and a pleasure to listen to. As someone with ADHD, having some extra tools to manage distraction is especially helpful, but the fact that it was an enjoyable listen actually allowed me to focus on the book to learn them.

First you get "Hooked", then get "Unhooked"
It is a great book to get you to think about information overload, prioritization and value of your time. Though being human, we know only 1% is going to get it, the rest mostly not (because we are designed not to). Nir's book has a lot of good ideas, you can borrow from, experiment and try though they are not the only ideas around.
For avid readers like me you are ahead of the reading curve, a lot of ideas and psychology around creativity, innovation and distraction is built upon ideas from others. Having read Fogg, Kahneman, Ariley, mihaly csikszentmihalyi, Thaler, Cal Newport, Charles Duhigg, Chip/Dan Heath, and a plethora of others you will only find some new and some reinforced ideas.
If you are not in the 1% that is motivated to change on their own by finding answers (or you are encoded by default) and you have not read any of the above, then this might be the book for the next 1%. Only one word of advice, you could discount all of these ideas as idealistic or stupid, then you are going to be "Hooked" and "Distracted". Give it a shot and put some ideas into practice, then maybe, you might break free... and that is true for me too, as I go down this journey of how to extract the best value from my life that offers me the true meaning that I am looking for from it.

Wish there was more
It’s a very good book with great ideas. The tips were succinct and the examples got right to the point. I typically love that. This is, however a book that I’m hoping will help me change some behaviors. They say that repetition is the mother of all learning. There really wasn’t time for a lot of learning. Although I could always go back and listen again.
It’s a very good book! Just not as great as I was hoping. I would however, definitely recommend it.

A very important book for our current world.
Excellent book, I am sure I will revisit it again in the future. Well narrated as well.

Amazing content!
Even though I was a bit sceptical in the beginning because I thought I'd read the same tips I find on the Internet, I was happy to be proved wrong! The content is well-explained with examples and fresh ideas! highly recommend it!
