Nir Eyal - Julie Li - A tudatos figyelem művészete

You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but your phone beeps to let you know you've received a message. You are about to return to your work when one of your colleagues cheerfully strikes up a conversation. No matter how hard you've worked, you don't turn off your phone when you get home. Does the situation sound familiar?
What could you achieve if you could stay true to your resolutions, if you could focus? What if you lived with awareness?
Internationally successful author Nir Eyal, a former lecturer at Stanford University, the author of HOOKED, also known as the Silicon Valley handbook, focuses on the loss of attention in his pioneering new work.
The Art of Conscious Attention analyzes in detail the psychological causes of attention loss. It points out why the "digital distraction" does not work, why it is not possible to put down our technical devices with a simple decision. His four-step model reveals the secret to finally doing what you really want to do. You can find out that:
- the loss of attention at work is actually a symptom of a poorly functioning workplace culture, and can be remedied with appropriate techniques;
- what is the main incentive of human behavior;
- you can save time with proper time management;
- why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on whether you can overcome the loss of attention;
- how to raise children who are still able to concentrate in this increasingly distracted world.

The art of Conscious Attention conveys a powerful, optimistic vision and introduces practical, new methods. With its help, you can learn how to plan your schedule and manage your attention. What you let into your life is up to you.
Blaming your smartphone for distracting you is as wrong as blaming your pedometer for taking too many stairs.
