This book is a collection of brilliant insights about how big tech has stolen our ability to concentrate.
I am very passionate about this topic since I have written a book about the subject and experienced being addicted to social media, YouTube, and other digital distractions and then managed to break free. I read the entire book in a few days, neglecting other things as I just couldn’t stop. It is a page-turner in the truest sense.
The writing is brilliant, and it was eye-opening to read about Hari’s experiment with a no-tech vacation and how his perspective and life experience changed because of it.

Your business is a calling. You've been called to serve a group of people with the products, services, and offers that you've created. The impact that the right message can have on someone at the right time in their life is immeasurable.

This book is the bestselling sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. It is all about luck: more precisely, how we perceive luck in our personal and professional experiences.
