This book had me curious because the topic at hand, how does our world of constant distractions from e-mail, media, and social media impact our ability to be creative and think. I know what impact it has on me, and how it decreases my performance and ability to solve complex problems.
While I found that the book remained reasonably interesting I had to but it away for some time because I felt I had gotten stuck. Never a great feeling, but after some weeks I picked it up again and once more felt it delivered on its promise and premise. It caused me to revisit some of the things I do on a daily basis and how my actions are impacted by the distractions I face daily. Overall an interesting read.

I love the title, and the speed and overwhelming nature of our workloads and over-connectivity is something we all need to think about. However, this book didn't really seem to offer anything new or add anything groundbreaking to the conversation. A good idea, but just okay.
