Discover the award-winning book that has improved hundreds of thousands of lives by changing how we approach distractions. 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"? In Indistractable , international bestselling author of Hooked and behavioral design expert Nir Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction, and the keys to getting the best out of technology without letting it get the best of us.
