Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention & Choose Your Life You can break yourself out of the cycle of constant distraction. You can feel focused & clear on a regular basis. But it takes work, & it takes a framework. In this session of Designers + Geeks, bestselling author Nir Eyal will share the research & practices described in his upcoming book, Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention & Choose Your Life.
Nir has spoken at Designers + Geeks in the past, & he's one of our favorite guests. Nir is the author of Hooked: Ho to Build Habit-Forming Products, so its quite fitting that he's back to teach us to become Indistractable. His talks are informative, energetic, & fun - join us for a great evening!
