Nir Eyal and Mark Manson

The book he was writing when we were writing together is called Indistractible, and it's about how to resist distraction. So, Nir, I noticed in your book there was nothing about me.
That'S actually not true. No, you need to give it another pass. Actually, in the section on pacts, this pre commitment where you decide in advance what the consequences will be if you don't do what you say you're going to do. I actually talk about in the book how we made that $10,000 bet that if I didn't finish my book by January 1st, I was going have to pay you $10,000.
