153. Traction vs. Distraction with Nir Eyal

The Opposite of Small Talk

It could be argued that at no other time in history has there been more external distractions in the average person’s daily life than there are today. This week’s guest Nir Eyal, bestselling author, teacher, consultant, and lecturer, discusses his book, “Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life” as well as the topic of Traction vs. Distraction. During our discussion Nir stresses the importance of the four strategies or principles that can help us break away from distraction, how to identify what it is we want to gain traction on in our own lives, the distractions getting in the way of this, and the internal and external triggers that may be bringing on those distractions. Finally, he shares how making pacts with ourselves can be a powerful tool in taking that final step toward choosing your life.
