“The antidote to impulsiveness is forethought.” - Nir Eyal.

With all the technological advancement that surrounds us today, it is nearly impossible not to get distracted. And while these technologies make working from home possible, we quickly get distracted because of them. The news, games, and even the means to connect with people are all in the palm of your hands. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros are joined by best-selling author Nir Eyal. They talk about what distraction is, why people get easily distracted, and how to control and avoid it. Nir is such a wealth of information so make sure you stay tuned.

Nir Eyal writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. Nir previously taught as a Lecturer in Marketing at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford. Nir co-founded and sold two tech companies since 2003 and was dubbed by The M.I.T. Technology Review as, “The Prophet of Habit-Forming Technology.” Bloomberg Businessweek wrote, “Nir Eyal is the habits guy. Want to understand how to get app users to come back again and again? Then Eyal is your man.” He is the author of two bestselling books, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products and Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.
