If you’re feeling bombarded by the waves of pings, dings and rings, you’re not alone. We live in an age of information. Unrelenting, constantly changing information that’s available to consumed in bitesize pieces and then forgotten.
In this masterclass, bestselling author of Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products Nir Eyal provides an antidote to the distraction crisis that’s affecting productivity and attention spans across the globe. With him, you will learn the findings of his five years of research, and how to master what he calls “the skill of the century”: the power to be “indistractable”.
