Indistractable

Autor Nir Eyal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 sep 2019

Considerăm că autoritatea lui Nir Eyal în domeniul atenției este incontestabilă, având în vedere experiența sa vastă în industria jocurilor video și a publicității, precum și cursurile de psihologie a consumatorului predate la Stanford Graduate School of Business. Dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Hooked, autorul dezvăluia mecanismele prin care tehnologia ne captează interesul, în Indistractable descoperim perspectiva inversă: cum să ne protejăm resursele cognitive în fața asaltului digital. Spre deosebire de Driven to Distraction at Work, care analizează motivele clinice sau structurale ale lipsei de concentrare, Indistractable oferă un set de instrumente practice bazate pe design comportamental pentru a ne recâștiga autonomia. Merită menționat că această carte nu se limitează la sfaturi generice de gestionare a timpului. Eyal demonstrează că distragerea pornește adesea din interior, ca mecanism de evitare a disconfortului, și ne învață cum să transformăm declanșatorii interni în aliați. Dacă 18 Minutes v-a oferit cadrul teoretic pentru organizarea zilei, această lucrare merge mai adânc, oferind soluții pentru a rămâne fideli propriilor intenții în relații, muncă și viața personală. Ritmul este alert, susținut de date științifice și studii de caz, transformând stăpânirea atenției într-o abilitate strategică pe care o considerăm indispensabilă în contextul actual al muncii de birou și al hiperconectivității.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru profesioniștii care simt că tehnologia le fragmentează ziua de lucru. Veți învăța nu doar să ignorați notificările, ci să înțelegeți psihologia din spatele nevoii de a fi distras. Este un ghid pragmatic pentru oricine dorește să își recapete capacitatea de concentrare profundă și să își atingă ambițiile fără a sacrifica relațiile personale sau sănătatea mentală.

You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. Later, as you're about to get back to work, a colleague taps you on the shoulder to chat. At home, screens get in the way of quality time with your family. Another day goes by, and once again, your most important personal and professional goals are put on hold.
What would be possible if you followed through on your best intentions? What could you accomplish if you could stay focused? What if you had the power to become "indistractable?"
International bestselling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley's handbook for making technology habit-forming. Five years after publishing Hooked, Eyal reveals distraction's Achilles' heel in his groundbreaking new book.
In Indistractable, Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices: Abstinence is impractical and often makes us want more.
Eyal 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.
Inside, Eyal overturns conventional wisdom and reveals:
  • Why distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional company culture--and how to fix it
  • What really drives human behavior and why "time management is pain management"
  • Why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on you becoming indistractable
  • How to raise indistractable children in an increasingly distracting world
Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention--helping you live the life you really want.
