551: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life with Nir Eyal (an Encore Presentation of Episode 284)




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.

* Why he feels the ability to control your attention is the single most important skill you can have in the twenty-first century

* Methods he recommends for avoiding distraction and interruptions at work?
* …and plenty more!
