Chapter 7: Indistractable, by Nir Eyal | The author of 'Hooked' teaches us how to avoid distraction? Hmm...
Manage episode 412587555 series 3549878
When the author or "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" then sells us the solution to our constant distraction, it's natural to be a little suspicious.
Nir Eyal has been tremendously influential in the business/tech world for his insights into how companies can design services and products that will keep consumers wanting more, more, MORE! Many have argued that Eyal has been at fault for the problem he now claims to have the solutions for, but is that fair? Maybe, maybe not. And what do his insights say about who is responsible for our collective shrinking attention spans? Does Eyal implicate people like himself for the addictive nature of innovations such as social media? We dive into just that in this episode.
So strap yourselves in, kiddos! Because we're about to share the useful/not-so-useful/and highly questionable insights from 'Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life'.....through the lens of intersectionality!
To all of our fellow ADHD/autistic/and otherwise neurodivergent friends, this one is especially relevant to you. Enjoy!
