Driven to Distraction at Work: How to Focus and Be More Productive
by Ned Hallowell
The author of this book definitely does a good job highlighting attention/focus issues in today's world, but he also does a good job at making a lot of the information up. Also constantly advertising his previous books. You go Ned.
Don't get me wrong, he's probably a very experienced and knowledgeable writer, however he doesn't need to overthink every situation in terms of ADHD. It's great how he addresses all the problems and gives tips and guides on how to deal with it. Still, most of the content is common sense.
Chapter 1- he wrote something about how technology is one of the greatest distractions and how he calls it "screen sucking".
Throughout the book he just creates these terms for himself like RUEP and ADT. Like it's not that deep.
I want to say that the book was good to read but I will probably never recommend it to purchase. It's literally common sense to realise phone and Internet addictions will create an issue of attention and focus.
