This is a very interesting book, and very relevant to our lifestyles today. The most important thought is that our devices are not totally to blame for our lack of focus and how we are easily distracted. We need to look beneath. The question of 'What are we being distracted from' is also key. I enjoyed the book very much because it is approaching new areas and the aim is to be instrumental in making todays advanced devices work for us and not allowing ourselves to be at their mercy. Basically it is not the devices that need to change it is the way we use them. The only niggle is that the book is written in a very academic style with constant references to quotes and surveys, and it felt a little bit like a dissertation. I was also a bit uncomfortable with the reliance on other apps to control our use of devices, just decide when you are not going to use it and switch it off. We need to get back using the biggest and best app, the grey matter between our ears.. But overall a brilliant book that everyone should read and start talking about.
