Indistractability as a Superpower: Eyal frames being "indistractable" as a crucial skill for success and fulfillment in the modern world. He argues that in the future, there will be two types of people: those controlled by distractions and those who are indistractable. "In the future, there will be two kinds of people in the world: those who let their attention and lives be controlled and coerced by others and those who proudly call themselves 'indistractable.'"
Traction vs. Distraction: The book defines traction as actions that move us towards our goals and values, while distraction pulls us away. Both are prompted by triggers, either internal or external. "On the right side of the continuum is traction...we can think of traction as the actions that draw us toward what we want in life. On the left side is distraction...the 'drawing away of the mind.' Distractions impede us from making progress toward the life we envision."
