Each Bob Goff book has impacted me in different ways. I am always surprised that such simple storytelling and straight forward communication can have so much depth. Undistracted is another very approachable and conversational book by Bob. It is full of story and invitation to live a focused full life. Although his stories continue to evoke, "how do all these things happen to one man?" It is very relatable and challenging. Bob continues to invite us to live a better story and shows the way. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is wanting more from their life and needs some help getting undistracted. Disclaimer: I was provided an advanced e-copy of Undistracted to review. I have since purchased three hard copies and will be buying more, I am sure.

I ALOTof books, and this is in my top 3! The encouragement and practical ways to lead an undistracted life was exactly what I needed. Coming out of the pandamic and having a brain full of distractions (shiny objects and lots of media) I didn’t know I needed this book until I started reading it. The real life stories enveloped in each chapter make remembering simple points so easy. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Also, do your friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers a favor and buy them the book too. I’m having a 5 week book club for anyone who wants to join so we can discuss this book and enrich each other lives. So excited and thanks Bob, for hitting another one out of the ballpark! So grateful for you and your constant encouragement to live life to the fullest!

I have always been a huge fan of Bob Goff. His writings have always spoken to me in ways that other writers can’t, even in the most trying and difficult times of my life and faith. This book is no exception. So many of the things covered in this book are things I have been struggling with over the last few months. The first couple of chapters helped me put so many things in my life in perspective. Undistracted is so well written, and Bob’s words are relevant, humble, and really speak to the challenges that many of us face. It is a truly great book and I look forward to applying it to my daily life.

Bob Goff has this amazing way of taking real-life stories and weaving them into life lessons for people of all ages. In a world full of distractions, Bob gently reminds us through life stories and Biblical examples, of the things that may come. Everything from shame to pretending to be someone we aren't to insecurity and detachment. Bob can make me cry one minute and laugh the next as he tells stories of being inside prisons to work with inmates and a childhood story about some "shenanigans" he got into when he was 8 years old, and went a little more person about a broken relationship he has in his life (and yet drawing me near because I'm in that same boat). Bob talks about going back to our "true selves," the people we were created to be, and how to lean into God for the strength, perseverance, and purpose we need. He talked about having cynics in our lives, stating, "I don’t think this is an overstatement: Modern-day cynicism has likely cost the world hearts, lives, cures for diseases, and trillions of dollars. It has also ruined plenty of holiday dinners. Don’t be the cynic in your circles." It is so important to surround ourselves with people who pour into us, encouraging us to be the best version of ourselves we can be. Bob also asks great questions, urging you to be honest with yourself. Questions that get you to think through the distractions in your life, asking you what your attitude is toward struggles, and what you can do to change your outlook if you struggle with being pessimistic. Questions about how you handle yourself after mistakes are made. Bob talks about your phone and how distracting it can be. He gives practical things to do besides jump on your phone for instant gratification, and even goes as far as telling us to consider phone use as cheating on your family. Not gonna lie...that one hit home quite a bit. I love Bob. I love every single book he's ever written, and I always look forward to the encouragement and challenges he shares in his books.
