Book Preview: #1 Focusing on smaller things will make us more effective and allow us to do less, which will give us more free time. It'll force us to choose and stop the excesses that have led to our economic problems.

#2 I changed my life by changing one thing at a time, by learning to find focus so that I could create, and by simplifying and focusing on less. This worked not only for me but for many of my readers who changed their lives by changing just one thing at a time.

#3 We live in curious times. It's called the Age of Information, but in another light it can be called the Age of Distraction. While humanity has never been free of distraction, never have the distractions been so voluminous, so overwhelming, so intense, and so persistent as they are now.

#4 The internet and other digital activities can be addictive. They offer instant positive feedback and delayed negative feedback, which make them extremely difficult to stop.
