~4 years ago, shortly after Hooked was published, Nir told me that he wanted to write this book. Ironically, the book is more relevant today than ever. P.S. We're publishing a podcast on Product Hunt Radio with Nir tomorrow morning.

Hi Everyone! After five years of research, writing, and experimentation, I’m proud to share my new book with you. Indistractable is a guide to learning “the skill of the century,” the power to control your attention and choose your life. Some of my readers have asked me about why I decided to research distraction after writing the best-selling book, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. Three reasons: First - I wrote this book because I needed it. As someone who has always struggled with distraction, I wanted an answer to the age-old question of why we do things against our best interests. I’d say I’d hit the gym but wouldn’t. I’d promise myself I’d finish that big project but would procrastinate for another day. I’d want to be present with my friends and family yet check my phone instead. I needed to know why I did these things and desperately wanted strategies for how to do what I said I would do. Second - Given my unique experience in the industry as someone who has helped countless companies design habit-forming products, I understand distraction’s Achilles' heel. To be clear, Ryan and I didn’t write Hooked for the big tech companies. We wrote it for YOU, the people building products and services that could truly improve people’s lives if they would only use the product! Hooked taught designers how to use the same psychological principles that make Instagram, YouTube, and online gaming so engaging to help people build healthy habits in their lives. Five years in, countless companies have used the Hooked Model for good. Unfortunately, there’s also a downside to products designed to be so engaging. Sometimes we overuse these products and we find ourselves distracted. However, throwing away our phones and swearing off social media aren’t practical solutions for most of us. “Digital detoxes” and 30-day plans didn’t work for me. I love my devices and wanted practical ways to get the best out of tech without letting tech get the best of me. Third - I think it’s important to fight the notion perpetuated by some tech critics that tech is addicting everyone and “hijacking our brains.” The truth is much more nuanced. The fact is, while some tech does addict some people, the vast majority of us are not pathologically addicted. In fact, believing we’re powerless makes us less likely to do something about the problem. We have way more power than we think. There’s no doubt many products are designed to be engaging. But would we want it any other way? The price of progress is a world of products so good we want to use them! Of course, there are bad actors who use deceptive practices and those companies deserve greater scrutiny. However, if we hold our breath waiting for companies to make their products less engaging, we’re going to suffocate. So why wait? There’s so much we can do right now to become indistractable. In Indistractable, I describe a four-part research-backed model that will help you finally live out your values and do what you say you will do. You’ll also learn: • What really drives human behavior and why “time management is pain management.” • Why distraction at work is a symptom of sick company culture—and how to fix it. • The real reason why kids overuse tech and how to teach them to focus in an increasingly distracting world. BONUS: If you order a copy of Indistractable in any format, I’ll send you the following right away.  - A complimentary Indistractable video course - A free 80-page workbook to guide you on your path to becoming indistractable - My personally curated list of dozens of tools and resources for controlling your time and attention Go to this URL to get all of the above free: https://www.nirandfar.com/produc... Thank you and I can’t wait to see what you can accomplish when you become indistractable!

Instant audible pick. Loved Hooked

I have pre-ordered book on Amazon India. Not shipped yet. Waiting!!!

You had me at "beyond the common scapegoat of personal technology". I tried to read Deep Work recently, but couldn't buy into his anti-socialmedia philosophy.

Absolute need of the hour. You hit a nail on the head when you say the ability to focus is the skill of the century! However, I find it ironical that you have written a book to teach how to create habit-forming products and then you write a book to remain undistracted from such habit-forming products! Have ordered the book. Will share my review shortly :)

Loved reading Hooked by @nireyal and I'm looking forward to this one. I'm glad that this book is available on Scribd !

Excited to see this in the wild after reading early drafts. Congrats on publishing, Nir! Truly believe in your vision and have seen the transformation in my life going from completely distracted to giving myself time in the right environment to focus. Still have a long way to go in my journey. Grateful to everyone on the same journey for sharing their stories 🙏

I had the chance to work as an "editor" / early reader of Indistractable. It's a great follow up to Hooked and includes plenty actionable advice to remove distractions from your life.

Hooked was already amazing I can't wait to read what Nir has in store for us now

So grateful for this new book. The bottom line for me is that I can make it much easier for myself to focus by changing a bunch of environmental factors. I thought I was good at this, and I still learned a lot. Thank you @nireyal !

Congratulations Nir! It's a fantastic book and it solves one of the most important problems we are facing in "1st world" countries. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to record our podcast episode tomorrow :)

Just got it on Audible. Excited to start!

Very excited to give this a read!

Hooked is one of my favorites - can't wait to read this

I need this.

loved this book! Nir is amazing!

We use the model in this book daily in our team at Bunch, both in our personal lives as well as our design processes. Must read for any builder out there.

I had the honor and pleasure of being one of the early readers / reviewers for this book. The topics are so relevant and the compelling science and stories that @nireyal shares are riveting. Indistractable is a very practical guide for achieving greater focus and living a more rewarding life.

Just bought eBook and Audible - looking forward to it!
