Reclaim your focus in 48 hours or less.
Do you keep procrastinating? Do you feel restless and unable to focus on your work? Do you have trouble getting excited about major goals?

In today’s world where distractions are everywhere, the ability to focus has become more and more difficult to achieve. We are constantly being stimulated, feeling restless, often without knowing why.
When the time comes to work, we suddenly find an excess of other things to do. Instead of working toward our goals, we go for a walk, grab a coffee, or check our emails. Everything seems like a great idea—everything except the very things we should be doing.
Do you recognize yourself in the above situation?
If so, don’t worry. You’re simply overstimulated.

Absolute, unhelpful nonsense.
This "book" is more like one of those blog posts on predatory websites that swear to offer all the answers to life's problems while bringing nothing of any substance or value to the table. The only people who will benefit from it are those who want lives full of all work and no play - and even then, only those who are neurotypical and already have cushy, comfortable, privileged, financially secure lives.
Lessons proposed by this book include:
Don't rush and hustle and try desperately to make money; think patiently and play the long game (and I guess just pray you can pay your bills in the meantime). Don't check your emails or use message notifications; just let everything rot until later (better hope you didn't miss something important from work or family). Don't eat so much junk food; just buy healthier foods, which the author never acknowledges as being more expensive and ironically requiring more time "wasted" to prepare it. Don't communicate with your friends online; go exercise instead. Don't play video games or watch YouTube or start a series on Netflix; write a book or do work instead. And if you think you enjoy those recreational activities, you're invalid, and your brain has been "hijacked."
Give me a break, here!
This nonsense claiming to be a book is garbage at best and actively harmful at worst. It oversimplifies everything in a manner which often comes across as dystopian and as if the moral is that life sucks and anything fun (or the enjoyment thereof) is evil and dysfunctional. Also, poor and/or mentally disordered individuals don't exist. OCD? ADHD? Never heard of 'em. People who can't copy Jeff Bezos and wait for several years for their dream business to become profitable while eating multi-million-dollar losses along the way? Y'know, the majority of people in the world? Nah, we don't exist. (This book literally uses that as an example of good forward-thinking!)
But more than that, the reason I DNF'd this garbage: it began to feel like being actively gaslighted with how frequently the author insisted readers' brains are "being hijacked" and repeated shallow points that amounted to "fun bad even in moderation, work good always, you are being hijacked even if you don't believe you are, you are not satisfied by leisure activities or the internet even if you think you are." No, just no. When I reached the point where it instructed:
I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and knew I couldn't finish reading this, even though I was only even still hate-reading for how bad it is. One paragraph later, this decision was cemented with:
The author had spent the previous 30% or more insisting upon the overly simplistic definition that the act of looking forward to a reward and being excited for it was the result of dopamine addiction. Being excited for an email from a friend, an achievement in a video game, or a fun video? Evil, bad, sign that the villain of the internet has hijacked your brain. But apparently being excited and looking forward to the reward of progress toward an approved goal is Totally Different and good and not at all governed by the same mental mechanisms.
Maybe the author means well, but the air this presents is similar to that of being gaslighted into a cult. Everything else of a similar nature is bad and must be completely cut out. No. Just no.
Moderation is the key. Balancing work and the life you actually like living (yeah, protip author: a large number of people in this world don't like their jobs and only have them out of necessity to survive) is important. Finding time for both fun hobbies and productivity is the goal, not erasing every hint of fun and working yourself to death. Distractions are hard to combat, but it's not because our brains are "hijacked."
And y'know what? Maybe it's because I'm not neurotypical, but for me "just don't access this distraction and instead do this other thing" is the most useless advice ever. Telling me over and over that the things I feel genuine enjoyment from - the things which make life a little less worthless to me - are not "really" satisfying and that I'm some kind of victim? Lowkey triggering and high-key useless.
I just wanted tips on balancing distractions and productivity, man. Not this tripe.
Oh, by the way? There's apparently a workbook that goes along with this. It's referenced constantly, but in order to get it you have to use the Big Bad Internet to go to the author's linked website and provide your name and email address to sign up for a mailing list. I'm not about to hand over my info and do not want to be on the list, so I have no clue what the workbook contains. I do, however, find that rather scummy and worth a little shaming.

'ডোপামিন ডিটোক্স' চমৎকার একটা বই। কাজে গড়িমসি কিংবা দরকারের সময় মনোযোগ রাখতে ব্যর্থ হওয়ার কারণ এবং সমাধান নিয়ে লেখক খুব অল্পকথায় গুরুত্বপূর্ণ আলোচনা করেছেন।
ব্যক্তিগতভাবে 'মোটিভেশনাল কিতাব'-এর সমর্থক আমি নই। এই বইটিকে ঠিক 'মোটিভেশনাল কিতাব' বলা যায় কি না সন্দেহ। এখানে রাতারাতি আপনি রাজা-উজির মেরে ফেলতে পারবেন এমন কল্পসাধ্য কথা শেখানো হয়নি। বরং আপনার অখণ্ড মনোযোগকে ফিরিয়ে আনতে কী করতে পারেন - এ নিয়ে আলাপ করা হয়েছে।
খুব সহজ ইংরেজিতে লেখা। যে-কোনো পাঠক দ্রুততম সময়ে বইটি শেষ করে ফেলতে পারবেন।

Great book to fall asleep to! Needed so much more evidence and explanation of the science from proper sources. Action steps were included to say they were in there. No meaningful exercises or worksheets. Used the same examples of distraction again and again. Didn't acknowledge different kinds of distraction like kids or fears and doesn't acknowledge the psychology behind procrastination. Dreadful.

এই মডার্ন দুনিয়াতে এখন সবচেয়ে কঠিন কাজ গুলোর একটা হচ্ছে এই যে মনোযোগ ধরে রাখা। বাকিদের কথা জানি না, এই যে আমি নিজেই এই সমস্যায় ভুগছি দু'তিন বছর ধরে। এই যুগে সবাই আপনার অ্যাটেনশন নিতে চাচ্ছে, সেখানে আসলে আপনি কতোটা ডিফেন্সিভ থাকতে পারছেন সেটাই মূল কথা। হয় আমাদের প্রচুর সময় অপ্রয়োজনীয় আনপ্রোডাক্টিভ কাজে ব্যয় হবে, কিংবা আমরা আসলে আমাদের ব্রেইন কে এই Overstimulation এর হাত থেকে প্রটেক্ট করতে শিখবো। There is no in between.
এইসব নিয়েই এই বইটা লেখা আসলে। লেখক খুবই অল্প কথায় সুন্দর গোছানো আলোচনা করেছেন। পড়তে আধা-এক ঘন্টার বেশি লাগবে না।
সেল্ফ হেল্প এর বই আসলেই কাজে দেয় কি না সেটা নিয়ে অনেক বিতর্ক থাকতে পারে কিন্তু পড়ে দেখতে তো ক্ষতি নেই- এমন একটা মনোভাব থেকে বইটা পড়া। বইটাতে এমন কিছু অন্যরকম কথা লেখা নেই যেটা আমাদের জানা নেই- কমবেশি আমরা সবাই জানিই।
বইটা বেশ গোছানো, লেখক পয়েন্ট বাই পয়েন্ট কিছু ব্যাপার ব্যাখা করেছেন যেগুলো কাজে লাগাতে পারা গেলে আসলেই বেশ হেল্পফুল হবে।
Happy Reading!

Review of this short, useful, practical and direct book has to be so: Brevity is the soul of wit
January 6, 2023
প্রথম কথা বইটা আমার মনে ধরেছে। উপভোগ্য ছিল। বেশ আরাম করেই পড়েছি।
কথা দুই, বইয়ে Self awareness এবং Observed করা বিষয়ে কথাবার্তা, সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ার কারসাজি থেকে সাবধান থেকে গুছিয়ে উঠতে বলা এবং সেসব হওয়া বা না হওয়া বা করার ট্রিক বাতলে দেয়া বিষয় গুলা ভালো লেগেছে। এখানে অতিরিক্ত বলি রাখি সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ার কারসাজি নিয়ে বিস্তারিত জানতে চাইলে নেটফ্লিক্সে চমৎকার একটা ডকুমেন্টারি আছে The Social Dilemma নামে, ওইটা দেখতে পারেন।
কথা তিন, বইটা পড়ার সময় "এসব তো জানা কথা, সবই তো আগে থেইক্যা জানি, নতুন কিছু কন।" টাইপ ভাবনা এসেছে। কারণ এটাও আর দশটা Self help বইয়ের মতোন। ব্যতিক্রম কিছু না। মজার ব্যাপার হইতেছে তারপরও পড়ার সময় বা পরে একটুও বিরক্ত হইনি।( কারণ হিসেবে বলা যায় বইটা ছোট। পড়তে ঘন্টা খানেকেরও কম সময় লাগে। আরেকটা কারণ বলা যেতে পারে যে এসব আমি আগে থেকে জানি এবং বড় বড় মানুষজনের সাথেও মিলে যাইতেছে দেখে একটা স্যাটিসফেকশন কাজ করা।)
শেষ কথা, এই বই একইসাথে Self help এবং Motivational একটা বই। এটাতে যেমন বলা আছে awareness এর কথা তেমনি আপনে যে চাইলেই পারবেন সে কথাও আছে।এখন পড়ার পর আমার মাঝেও ডোপামিন কাজ করা শুরু করে দিছে। ঠিক অন্য দশটা এই ক্যাটাগরির বই পড়ার পর যেমনটা হয়ে থাকে!
২.৫/৫

"When you're engrossed in stimulating activities, your mind will sell you on how much fun and enjoyment you are having. You should do more of it. Don't worry about anything else for now. Just enjoy yourself. Or so your mind says.
But whatever your mind says, excitement doesn't equal fulfillment."

Yes! I’m ready to stop letting my environment hijack my brain and regain control of it instead. A great guide to a healthier and more productive life. To activate helpful neurotransmitters instead of being dependent on dopamine. My key takeaways:
1. Meditate: even just for a few minutes and focus on each sense.
2. Stretch: to calm and activate an energetic flow.
3. Mindfulness: laser-focused completion of tasks.
4. Contemplative walking: to appreciate every little thing in my surrounding.
5. Deep social interaction: in person and with eye contact.
6. Boredom: to give my mind a break. Just do and think nothing.
Another helpful book, Thibaut Meurisse! Thank you!

در حد یک تلنگر و اگاهی خوبه، ولی وقتی تهش برمیگرده میگه بیاید بقیه کتابهامم بخونید برای سمزدایی دوپامین، عملا داره همون تبلیغاتی که در طول کتاب هی میگه باعث ایجاد دوپامین میشه رو انجام میده انگار :)))

বেশিরভাগ ই জানা কথা তাও আবার একটা রিভিশন দিয়ে ভালই লাগল। খুবই সহজবোধ্য ইংরেজীতে লেখা আর ছোটখাট বই।

حین ترجمه خوندمش؛ کتابی خیلی خلاصه و ساده در باب نحوه مدیریت تمرکز، داشتن توجه و رسیدن به آرامش بیشتره. توضیحاتی خیلی اندک از نحوه کارکرد دوپامین، که یک پیام رسانی عصبی در مغزه و مربوط به سیستم پاداش میشه، در ابتدای کتاب داده میشه و بعد نویسنده خلاصهوار توضیح میده که شرکتها چطور از این سازوکار برای تحت کنترل در آوردن توجه ما و پول در آوردن استفاده میکنن. بعد برنامهای خیلی ساده برای خلاصی از دست تحریک بیش از حد ترشح دوپامین ارائه میده که شامل دوری از اخبار، اینترنت، شبکههای اجتماعی و در کل هر منبع محرکی میشه و بر این باوره که با این کار دیگه عادت به استفاده از این چیزها برای ترشح دوپامین رو نخواهیم داشت و میتونیم رو کار کردن و انجام چیزهای مهم تمرکز کنیم.
.
بهنظرم کتاب در باب خیلی چیزها تندروی میکنه، مثل دوری کامل از اینترنت و نخوندن ایمیلها و..، خب البته تا حد زیادی درست میگه، ولی مطمئنا تو دنیای امروزه نمیشه توجه کامل رو بر روی کار و چیزهای خشک و جدی قرار داد و تصور میکنم که ملال حاصله از این کار میتونه نتایج بدتری از تحریک دوپامین توسط شبکههای اجتماعی و... داشته باشه.
.
این طرز فکر که «همیشه کار کردن خوبه و سرگرمی (اصلا منظورم همون سرگرمی های درپیت و مسخرهاس!) بده» میتونه سمی باشه، اونطور که کتاب از جف بزوس مثال میزنه، همه نمیتونن اونطور رفتار و فکر کنن، همه آدمها جهانبینی و طرز تفکر مشابه ندارن و تفاوتهای فردی خیلی زیاده.
.
نهایتا اینکه اونقدرا هم کتاب بدی نیست، یه تلنگر کوچیکیه که کمتر به شبکههای اجتماعی و چیزهایی که اهمیتی ندارن بها بدیم، تغذیه سالم داشته باشیم و توجه و تمرکزمون رو رسیدن به اهداف خودمون باشه، نه پر کردن جیب شرکتهای بزرگ.

A great read. There's likely very little in this book that you haven't heard before, but this book presents it all in such a basic and straightforward way that I couldn't help but think "of course I need to do that, why haven't I done that already?"
Within an hour of finishing this book, I removed the final few social media apps with which I had accounts, significantly reduced the number of apps on my phone that can trigger notifications (only texts from my son's mom can get through during the work day), installed a website blocker to remove access to time wasting sites, and moved my phone charger into my office to avoid bedtime or early morning phone use.
On top of this, the book is like 50 pages long, so it's easy to pick up again in the future if I need a motivational refresh.

Easy quick read but you don’t get information that’s not already on the internet. The narrative of this book is set in a way that you start thinking about discipling your social media usage.
“to achieve long-term goals in your personal or professional life, you must regain control of your attention and rewire your brain to focus on the long term. To do so, you should start by staying away from highly stimulating activities.”
“Build the foundations for success one brick at a time. Build them strong so that they won’t collapse at the first obstacle or setback”

সবকিছুই করা হয় কিন্তু বেশিদিন টেকেনা। বইয়ের সব কথা গুলোই সবার জানা। অন্তত যারা ভাবে নিজেকে পরিবর্তন করার কথা। যে কথা গুলো বলা সবগুলোর সাথেই আমরা পরিচিত। কিন্তু দৃঢ়তা নেই। দৃঢ় থাকার ঔষধ পেলে ভালো হতো।

No me ha maravillado, pero dice cosas útiles.
⚠️ Creo que puede ser un poco trigger warning para personas con problemas de productividad tóxica.

মোটিভেশনাল বইটই খুব একটা পছন্দ না৷ ঘুরেফিরে একই কথাবার্তা সব জায়গায়। তাও এই বইয়ের ব্যাপক বিজ্ঞাপন দেখে ভাবলাম দেখি একবার পড়ে, এবং নতুন কিছুই পেলাম না। তবে হালকাপাতলা মোটিভেট হতে চাইলে পড়ে ফেলা যায়।

A compact version of the Atomic Habits but it also entails Dopamine, its effects, and what Dopamine detoxes actually do. A nice and short read/refresher overall.

মন বিক্ষিপ্ত থাকলে এই বইটা পড়ি।কিন্ত দুঃখের বিষয় হলো কিছুই কাজে লাগে না। একমাসে আমি সব ছেড়েছুড়ে সাধু হয়ে গেলে ও কিছুদিন পর যখন সংযমের বাধ ভেঙে যায় তখন দেখা যায় যে একমাসে মোট যতো ঘন্টা ফোন টিপতাম একদিনেই ততটুকু সময় ফোনের পিছনে ব্যয় হয়ে যাচ্ছে। তাই শেষমেষ লাভের লাভ কিছুই থাকছে না।
বইয়ের কনসেপ্ট গুলো ভালো।মেনে চলতে পারলে বেশ। কিন্ত অনুবাদ টা কেমন যেন। মনে হয় গুগল ট্রান্সলেটেড। খাপছাড়া টাইপের।

দারুণ একটা বই। পড়ে তো ফেললাম, এখন জীবনে কাজে লাগাতে পারলে হয়!

Picked this book up because I knew I could finish it within half an hour or 45 minutes and also I wanted to do something else rather than scroll on Insta in office. Oh, the irony!!
As I took notes of the key points as I read, I realised this book is a lengthy blog post. A lot of filler content for the first 2 chapters and the key content were the sub headings in the last few chapters. Hence the 3 stars.

It's a good one to understand what dopamine detox is and why we need it in the current times. But I felt the author has oversimplified the actionable steps needed to achieve it and improve one's focus.

I would suggest everyone to read the book once.
