Description
Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life, written by Nir Eyal, addresses one of the defining challenges of modern life: constant distraction. First published in 2019, the book reframes distraction not as a technology problem, but as a behavior and values problem.
Eyal explains that distraction is often driven by internal triggers such as boredom, stress, and discomfort—not just notifications and devices. By learning to manage these internal triggers, design environments intentionally, and plan time around their values, individuals can become indistractable in their work, relationships, and personal lives.
Rather than advocating digital detoxes or rigid rules, Indistractable offers a balanced, actionable system that helps readers use technology consciously while protecting focus, integrity, and personal agency.
