    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The more you manage your exposure to external stimuli, the better your thinking, judgment, and life will become. Most of us have had that moment when we’re sitting at lunch with a friend and find our fingers reaching for our smartphone or glancing over their shoulder at the baseball game on the TV screen over the bar.

    #2 The collateral damage of an ongoing war for our attention is information overload. We have a whole range of devices and apps designed to be addictive, but they ultimately overwhelm us and rob us of the agency necessary to do what we want to do or need to do.

    #3 The human brain has a tipping point for information overload. When our brains are taking in too much sensory information at any one moment, we experience information overload. We often overload our brains with information by multitasking.

    #4 External stimulation, when used properly, can help us survive and adapt to change. But when used improperly, it can tire us out and make us feel overwhelmed. We must learn to control it.
