Tech is designed to be engaging. We can't put the, you know, we can't go backwards in time. So it's up to us, by and large, except for people who are in protected classes. The vast majority of people out there, this is not an addiction. It's about overuse.

Nir Eyal teaches us how to harness the skill of the century…becoming Indistractable. He reminds us that distraction is an action that starts from within. He motivates us to take command of our personal development in a world that is frequently competing for our attention. He encourages us to recognize the external triggers that don’t serve us and how to be more mindful of those that do. He also shares what it takes to be competitive in an increasingly automated job market.
