Some useful information and w ll written but I feel like most of the meat of the book was in the last 20%.

The subtitle and blurb make it sound like there's going to be more actionable content than you actually get. It's more of a deep dive into the topic of divided attention, and I've read some of that previously. I might have given a higher rating if the presentation had matched the contents better.

This book included some interesting research I hadn't heard before but the advice is so basic: turn off notifications, put your phone in a different room, etc.
