About this listen

Are you living your life, or are you just buffering? You wake up and reach for your phone. You spend your day juggling emails, Slack messages, and social media notifications. You end your day exhausted, wondering where the time went, only to scroll yourself to sleep. If this sounds familiar, you aren’t lazy, and you aren’t broken. You are just drowning in noise. In a world designed to hijack your attention for profit, silence has become a luxury item.

But what if you could take it back? Wired for Distraction is not a lecture on why technology is evil. It isn’t a demand that you throw your smartphone into a river and live in a cabin. Instead, it is a compassionate, science-backed guide to reclaiming your brain in a distracted world.

Inside, you will discover:

  • The Myth of Multitasking: Why your brain physically cannot do two things at once, and how "task-switching" is lowering your IQ.
  • The Dopamine Loop: How tech giants engineer apps to mimic slot machines, and how to break the addiction using friction, not willpower.
  • Designing Your Sanctuary: Practical steps to turn your home and workspace into fortresses of focus.
  • The Art of Deep Work: How to achieve more in four hours of focus than most people do in a forty-hour workweek.
  • The 30-Day Reset: A step-by-step protocol to strip your digital life down to the studs and rebuild it with intention.

Whether you are an ambitious professional on the edge of burnout, a creative blocking on your best work, or just someone who misses the feeling of being truly present, this audiobook is your roadmap home. The world is loud. You don’t have to be.
