Every so often, someone reaches out to me and says, “You’ve gotta talk to so-and-so.”
Sometimes I’m skeptical, but when it’s a good friend that is doing the talking, my ears perk up. That was the case when it was suggested I chat with today’s guest.
His name is
Nir Eyal and he did not disappoint.
His new book is called
Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.
In it, he lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model.
Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.
