The Distraction Addiction: Getting the Information You Need and the Communication You Want, Without Enraging Your Family, Annoying Your Colleagues, and Destroying Your Soul - Alex Soojung-Kim Pang I was really looking forward to this book, but I found myself disappointed... I was easily distracted while reading it, maybe all the talk of distractions kept me thinking of going online! I found the book to be a bit choppy, but there is some good advice! I am not one that is constantly texting or checking facebook, so, if you are, you may find this a much better read than I did!

He talks about meditation, which is a wonderful idea to relax your mind... Also, about taking a digital sabbath, where you turn off your various screens and do real world stuff!

I found it very interesting that the author speaks of switch-tasking rather than multi-tasking, which is mostly what we hear about. But, most of us are really just switching from one task to another. This makes us less productive on the whole!

Definitely recommended for anyone who is addicted to being constantly connected and wants to change!
