Here are just a few off the top of my head:

If you’re feeling like you want to be a ‘better version of yourself’ or figure out what to do with your life then there are plenty of other books that would be better than this one. 12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You (on my TBR) If you are feeling like you need a better philosophy on how you spend your time or use your phone, I would recommend one of these books instead: I can’t really think of a reason to read this book. Everything was all over the place and I’m not really sure it’s actually going to help anyone.

In short, it just felt like a shallow, self-helpy book with dramatic anecdotes Goff wrangled into inspirational one-liners that sound great but feel a bit fluffy. A clean first impression.Īnd I felt about the same as when I read his other book. I decided to give Goff another chance by reading his newest book before I heard any hype about it. I read Goff’s book Everybody, Always, and contrary to popular opinion of it, I wasn’t really impressed. “Are you willing to do what it takes to uncover the wonder that already surrounds your life? Will you do the courageous work to identify what is distracting you from the better things? And finally, are you willing to do the difficult and selfless work of releasing the beauty you discover into the lives of others rather than keeping it for yourself?” Bob Goff brings relief.Undistracted: Capture Your Purpose. This book is like sitting in the hot summer in front of the one window AC unit in the front room of your Grandmama’s house when you visited as a child. It really doesn’t matter where you left off or where you start again.Īuthor of more than 24 books, in this latest publication, Goff writes words of inspiration that can be read before bedtime or while waiting in a doctor’s office for an appointment. The group fights for human rights, cares for the vulnerable, and provides education in conflict zones around the world - all things you can do when undistracted by life’s ups and downs.Ī nod also to the way this book is written, as it is a book that can be put down - and then picked back up again even if the bookmark falls out. He is an international traveler and founder of the nonprofit Love Does, once known as Restore International. He threads a soft filter of fun and light and magic through his chapters. Through his inspiring storytelling, Goff makes you think of new ways to breathe life into your daily expectations and your own actions.Ī lawyer, speaker, and author of The New York Times bestselling books “Love Does” and “Everybody, Always,” Goff gets right to the point in his latest book and truly writes with intention and purpose with no fillers of feel-good nonsense. “Undistracted” is not to be confused with the self-help or feel-good books you may have read in the past.
