The premise here is: we are also responsible for being addicted to technology so the author discusses some tactics to make us less prone to use it mindlessly. But, I don't think it is for everyone. There are some drastic measures that I think might work for some.
I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.
Valuable practical lessons in how to combat distractions. I have implemented a few, like reorganizing my phone's home screen and turning down the number of notifications I get even more.
A good synthesis of the state of knowledge and the author's experience on the topic of distraction. The chapters are refreshingly short, there isn't a lot of wasted exposition like in many books in the genre. I absolutely intend to implement.
This one was right in the edge of 3-4 stars... some really good snippets, but also lots of pretty common stuff. Would be a compelling long-read or blog series, but just had a bit too much fluff for a book, at least compared to other books with a similar focus. Also, some of the content didn't age well in terms of specifics (apps, etc.), which probably added to the lower ranking.
