This book has changed the way i view everything! I was searching up a question on Google and got annoyed that i was getting some results that weren’t good at all. Then i realized that when google changed their search result algorithm a bit ago, they made it a bit harder for us to find exactly what we needed so we spend more time using the platform! Ofc they wouldn’t want us to find the answer instantly.

“All this frenetic digital interruption is ‘pulling our attention away from our thoughts,’ and ‘suppressing your default mode network.... I think we're almost in this constant stimulus-driven, stimulus-bound environment, moving from one distraction to the next.’ If you don't remove yourself from that, it will ‘suppress whatever train of thought you had.’”

“I felt like everywhere I went, I was surrounded by people who were broadcasting but not receiving. Narcissism, it occurred to me, is a corruption of attention-it's where your attention becomes turned in only on yourself and your own ego.”

I hope I’m never a person who reaches for their phone before their children

I am curious about this book because this is a problem I have and am trying to fix. But removing social media from life doesn’t solve the entire problem. My hope in reading this book is that I will find a new solution to implement and be inspired to live.
