I liked a lot the model of traction and distraction presented in the book, and was surprised that modern tech is not the source of the distraction problem, but human brain is.

I’m not a native speaker and had to use a translator from time to time to get more accurate meaning of some words, which is good for me as I learned some new words phrases. Language used in the book is of high quality, in my opinion, it is very expressive and precise. In addition to that, there is a Chapter Takeaways section at the end of the book for a supersonic look back. It’s nice that each chapter ends with Remember this section holding the major ideas, so it will be easy to quickly refresh some key points in memory. Relatively short chapters allow getting joy from the book step by step. The book is very well-structured and easy to follow. There are several pages of them, but I was already hooked by reading the first several reviews. I was impressed by the amount of great reviews at the beginning of the book. If you’re the kind of person who likes to learn by exmpalpe, and you want to see these tactics in action first, feel free to read parts fine and on, then come back through the first four parts for a deeper explanation. However, if you don’t like to read books in order or prefer learning by examples, Nir covered you as well: That’s what I did, and have zero regrets. You’re welcome to navigate the four steps to becoming indistractable however you like, but I recommend you proceed in order through parts one to four. Nir was kind enough and gave precise recommendation on this, so I have nothing to add there. This book is for anybody, who wants to live their own life, aligned with own values and driven by conscious choices. He writes to help companies create behaviors that benefit their users while educating people on how to build healthful habits in their own lives. Nir worked in the video gaming and advertising industries where he learned and applied the techniques used to motivate and manipulate users.

He was taught as a Lecturer in Marketing at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Design School, and sold two technology companies since 2003. Nir is the author of Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products and Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life. In his book, Nir Eyal gives everything you need to understand and gain that power to change your own life for the better. TLDR Being indistractable is a superpower of people leaving happy lives according to their own values and beliefs. Subtitle: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life
