What a great book! I had never read a Bob Goff book before and really enjoyed it! There were some great practical tips and I liked learning about his life. It was funny, thought provoking, and inspiring.

In Undistracted, Bob Goff explained how we can rediscover our purpose and get our joy back. He begins the book by explaining how we are all distracted more and more. Sometimes we don’t even notice when our minds are wondering and we are losing focus. We are faced with social media distractions, ever ending to do lists, and reading the news. He encouraged readers to write down for a day everything that is distracting us from completing tasks. This can help to reveal to us where we are spending our time and what could be distracting us from fully living.


One of my favorite chapters was how we can learn to be present and how this is the cure for insecurity. He shared how he visits prisons and tries to influence them and teach them about God and how to deal with their shame. He shared how he was alone in a room with a young man when the power went off and the entire prison was shut down for four hours. He admitted to how he wanted to dig a hole just to escape. He was locked in with this man in maximum security. He compared this to insecurity and how many of us try and build up walls to protect us. We install bulletproof glass so nothing could kill us or harm us. He shared how really, we are just scared and longing for a true friend to help carry us. We can break out of the prison around our hearts.


I would recommend this inspiring book about the things that are distracting us from having joy and pursuing our purpose fully. I immensely loved the story about how his friend who happens to be a guitar player for Carrie Underwood. He invited him to a show and he didn’t realize that he had an all-access pass to go anywhere in the show. He wasn’t allowed on center stage. He used this exampled to compare it to how God has given us an all-access pass to go anywhere and to live our lives. He explained how we can choose to have boldness. I also liked how he included his cell phone number in the book and he encourages readers to call him and he just might surprise you an answer. I thought this was something totally different from an author.



I received this book free from Thomas Nelson for my honest review.”

3 stars- The book contained some good examples and had humor, heart, and soul. It could have contained more practical tips.

Bob Goff is phenomenal at inspiring a radical faith life. His writing always leaves me feeling ready to seek first the kingdom, and Undistracted was no different. This book is so critical in our inattentive world, where the concept of being truly present is talked about far more than it is achieved. I loved the foundation Undistracted has helped me to build in my life and to see the negative impacts of distraction on spiritual life.

Bob Goff has such an amazing way of communicating his heart through entertaining stories that exemplify the major points of his book along with demonstrate his enthusiasm, optimism, and zeal for a life well lived. I always enjoy reading his books and feel changed for the better after reading, along with enjoying the crazy tales he has to share and laughs along the way.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for the copy. Unfortunately this book was full of stories that weren't that deep or interesting and not a lot of substance. I had to DNF at 20% during the chapter on being a "nice" person. Bob Goff is an amazing guy and some may love this book but I can't call it ground-breaking, convicting, or informative Unfortunately.

Undistracted offers a refreshing perspective on living a purposeful life, grounded in biblical principles and filled with optimism. While you can't deny the charm of Goff's optimism, the book falls short when it comes to offering concrete steps for achieving its lofty goals. It's the kind of read that leaves you nodding along, feeling momentarily uplifted, but walking away and not being able to remember a single specific piece of advice. While the book does outline general ideas to create a more fulfilling life, there aren't really any actionable steps to get there. So, if you're in the market for a quick pick-me-up and a dose of vague inspiration, "Undistracted" might hit the spot. Just don't expect it to revolutionize your life.

Fantastic and much needed book. Distraction is so much a part of society today, with so much to do and see, worthwhile and not, easy and hard. This book "gives you a few ideas about how to yank back into your lane, refocus, get clear once again on your lasting purposes, and start living a less distracted and more joy-filled life right now." Isn't that what we all want and need? Great writing, easy to read, interesting and practical. I highly recommend.

“I recently finished reading ‘Undistracted’ by Bob Goff, and I can confidently say that it is one of the most inspiring and thought-provoking books I have ever read. Bob’s writing style is engaging and conversational, making getting lost in his stories and insights easy.

One of the most admirable aspects of this book is its ability to guide readers toward a state of introspection in the midst of life’s never-ending whirlwind, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing what is truly important.

Bob’s candidness and willingness to share his struggles with distraction lends an air of honesty and authenticity to his practical advice on achieving focus and intentionality, making it easier for readers to connect with and apply his teachings to their lives.

I also appreciate that he emphasizes the importance of community and relationships, a message that feels particularly relevant today. Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a must-read for anyone looking to live a more meaningful, purposeful life.”

I’m sending a Big Thank You to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary review copy in exchange for my honest review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. #Undistracted #NetGalley

I love Bob Goff's hilariously told stories and life advice. Undistracted is a great read full of hard-earned wisdom and comedic gold. Highly recommend!

I just finished Undistracted by Bob Goff after being distracted by life. This was SO GOOD! And the kick in the pants I needed to really think about how I fill my days and who and what gets my attention. He has so many stories that will make you laugh and a few that will make you cry but they all point you to the bigger picture of following Jesus. I’ve read Everybody, Always and Love Does and this book ranks right up there with those books. I get something out of each of his books so I hope he keeps writing them!
Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion.

In a world where it's so easy to be distracted by everything around us, this book was a welcome call to a simpler focused state of being. Bob writes with such joy and love. It's great to read his work.

I wanted to love this book so much but I couldn’t even finish it. I had to force myself to continue to pick it up until I couldn’t anymore.

I will preface this with the fact that I am a religious person but this book felt flooded with religion. Which I don’t usually mind but this was just a little much for me. I didn’t feel like there was many action points like I had hoped other than the god points. Which for some people it can be very helpful but for me I was looking for something outside of faith that could help with everyday distractions.

If you are someone who loves faith based self help books this is definitely for you. For myself however I don’t love the direction most of the self help books have started to take in the more recent years.

Thanks NG for this ARC

This felt like a completely average self help book to me, at times leaning toward toxic positivity without acknowledging some of the intricacies of our inner workings as humans.

Let's just say that we all need a Bob Goff in our lives. This man inspires me to live life intentionally and to be love. I'm on a mission to read all of his books because he definitely is so inspiring.

If you have never read a Bob Goff book, then you are truly missing out. Not only is he brilliant and relatable, but his books have such a personal life lesson that is taught and you feel it to your core. There is so much love and sincerity.
Undistracted is a beautiful read, especially as a parent in this time where so much distracts us. I recommend this book continually along with all of his others. We read it as a group, we read it in our personal quiet time, we read it as a family, listen on long drives. It is food for the soul and hope for our future.
While you are getting this book yo read, add Love Does to your cart. You won’t regret it.

Thank you for this copy Netgalley

It feels like Bob Goff is an old friend whenever I read his books. His laid-back tone, positive perspective and God-filled joy makes his advice speak right to the heart. In Undistracted he has us think about what is truly important and who the people are that we need to be available to. Using examples from his own life experience and connecting to Biblical truths, Bob shows how we can focus ourselves away from the world’s distractions - our daily busyness - and back on what God wants us to focus on. I read this book and listened to the audio lessons as well. I love hearing him speak and laugh because he is exactly who you think he is. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are feeling overwhelmed and overburdened. It will help you think about His plan for your focus.

This was my favorite Bob Goff book. Always weaving life stories within the simple truths Jesus spoke, he reminds us living the things Christ taught are more simple than we think.

I’m a big fan of Bob Goff the writer AND Bob Goff the human. He is a master of storytelling and this latest book of his is no exception. He carries us along on so many adventures of his life and finds the meaning and life lessons in everything that comes his way. He continues to be an auto-read author for me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy in exchange for my honest review.
