Your attention is not broken. It is responding to a world that constantly competes for it.
If you have ever picked up your phone for one purpose and found yourself scrolling twenty minutes later, You Are What You Notice is for you.
This is not a book about abandoning technology or achieving perfect focus. Soren Thale offers a practical, compassionate approach to understanding what distraction provides, reshaping the habits that keep you scrolling, and returning your attention to the parts of life that matter.
Inside, you will discover:
Why endless feeds keep you scrolling long after the enjoyment has ended
Simple ways to reduce distraction without depending on willpower
Practices for protecting sleep, focused work, meaningful conversation, and genuine rest
A realistic approach to notifications, news, comparison, and constant availability
A four-week program featuring twenty-eight manageable experiments and space for reflection
You do not need more guilt, rigid rules, or a perfect screen-time record. You need practical ways to recognize when your attention has been pulled away—and to return it to the work, people, and moments that make up your life.
Reclaim your attention, one small choice at a time.
