Summary

My guest today is Nir Eyal, an Israeli-born American author, lecturer and investor known for his bestselling book, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. He earned a B.A. at Emory University in 2001.[6] He then worked for Boston Consulting Group and a solar panel installation firm before attending Stanford for his MBA.

The topic is his book Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

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.
