Thank you Netgalley for the copy. Unfortunately this book was full of stories that weren't that deep or interesting and not a lot of substance. I had to DNF at 20% during the chapter on being a "nice" person. Bob Goff is an amazing guy and some may love this book but I can't call it ground-breaking, convicting, or informative Unfortunately.

Undistracted offers a refreshing perspective on living a purposeful life, grounded in biblical principles and filled with optimism. While you can't deny the charm of Goff's optimism, the book falls short when it comes to offering concrete steps for achieving its lofty goals. It's the kind of read that leaves you nodding along, feeling momentarily uplifted, but walking away and not being able to remember a single specific piece of advice. While the book does outline general ideas to create a more fulfilling life, there aren't really any actionable steps to get there. So, if you're in the market for a quick pick-me-up and a dose of vague inspiration, "Undistracted" might hit the spot. Just don't expect it to revolutionize your life.

Fantastic and much needed book. Distraction is so much a part of society today, with so much to do and see, worthwhile and not, easy and hard. This book "gives you a few ideas about how to yank back into your lane, refocus, get clear once again on your lasting purposes, and start living a less distracted and more joy-filled life right now." Isn't that what we all want and need? Great writing, easy to read, interesting and practical. I highly recommend.

“I recently finished reading ‘Undistracted’ by Bob Goff, and I can confidently say that it is one of the most inspiring and thought-provoking books I have ever read. Bob’s writing style is engaging and conversational, making getting lost in his stories and insights easy.

One of the most admirable aspects of this book is its ability to guide readers toward a state of introspection in the midst of life’s never-ending whirlwind, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing what is truly important.

Bob’s candidness and willingness to share his struggles with distraction lends an air of honesty and authenticity to his practical advice on achieving focus and intentionality, making it easier for readers to connect with and apply his teachings to their lives.

I also appreciate that he emphasizes the importance of community and relationships, a message that feels particularly relevant today. Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a must-read for anyone looking to live a more meaningful, purposeful life.”

I’m sending a Big Thank You to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary review copy in exchange for my honest review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. #Undistracted #NetGalley

I love Bob Goff's hilariously told stories and life advice. Undistracted is a great read full of hard-earned wisdom and comedic gold. Highly recommend!

I just finished Undistracted by Bob Goff after being distracted by life. This was SO GOOD! And the kick in the pants I needed to really think about how I fill my days and who and what gets my attention. He has so many stories that will make you laugh and a few that will make you cry but they all point you to the bigger picture of following Jesus. I’ve read Everybody, Always and Love Does and this book ranks right up there with those books. I get something out of each of his books so I hope he keeps writing them!
Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion.

In a world where it's so easy to be distracted by everything around us, this book was a welcome call to a simpler focused state of being. Bob writes with such joy and love. It's great to read his work.

I wanted to love this book so much but I couldn’t even finish it. I had to force myself to continue to pick it up until I couldn’t anymore.

I will preface this with the fact that I am a religious person but this book felt flooded with religion. Which I don’t usually mind but this was just a little much for me. I didn’t feel like there was many action points like I had hoped other than the god points. Which for some people it can be very helpful but for me I was looking for something outside of faith that could help with everyday distractions.

If you are someone who loves faith based self help books this is definitely for you. For myself however I don’t love the direction most of the self help books have started to take in the more recent years.

Thanks NG for this ARC

This felt like a completely average self help book to me, at times leaning toward toxic positivity without acknowledging some of the intricacies of our inner workings as humans.

Let's just say that we all need a Bob Goff in our lives. This man inspires me to live life intentionally and to be love. I'm on a mission to read all of his books because he definitely is so inspiring.

If you have never read a Bob Goff book, then you are truly missing out. Not only is he brilliant and relatable, but his books have such a personal life lesson that is taught and you feel it to your core. There is so much love and sincerity.
Undistracted is a beautiful read, especially as a parent in this time where so much distracts us. I recommend this book continually along with all of his others. We read it as a group, we read it in our personal quiet time, we read it as a family, listen on long drives. It is food for the soul and hope for our future.
While you are getting this book yo read, add Love Does to your cart. You won’t regret it.

Thank you for this copy Netgalley

It feels like Bob Goff is an old friend whenever I read his books. His laid-back tone, positive perspective and God-filled joy makes his advice speak right to the heart. In Undistracted he has us think about what is truly important and who the people are that we need to be available to. Using examples from his own life experience and connecting to Biblical truths, Bob shows how we can focus ourselves away from the world’s distractions - our daily busyness - and back on what God wants us to focus on. I read this book and listened to the audio lessons as well. I love hearing him speak and laugh because he is exactly who you think he is. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are feeling overwhelmed and overburdened. It will help you think about His plan for your focus.

This was my favorite Bob Goff book. Always weaving life stories within the simple truths Jesus spoke, he reminds us living the things Christ taught are more simple than we think.

I’m a big fan of Bob Goff the writer AND Bob Goff the human. He is a master of storytelling and this latest book of his is no exception. He carries us along on so many adventures of his life and finds the meaning and life lessons in everything that comes his way. He continues to be an auto-read author for me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy in exchange for my honest review.

Undistracted by Bob Goff is a book where the author Bob Goff tells stories of his own experiences and through them, points out just how distracting the world we live in today is. Reading through the book is like talking with a friend, story after story and laughter intermittent in the stories. There were good points in all of these stories and throughout the book, yet it was still a little difficult for me to see the point of the book -- other than telling stories with good insight. This was an entertaining read, for sure, and good for those readers who want something lighter. I would give it 3.5/5 stars if I could.

Early on, I was not a big fan of this book. But Bob Goff's writing style grew on me the more I went along. He definitely has a "dad joke" type of humor and a lot of his stories really do start out as long-form dad jokes that he then morphs into parables to reveal some spiritual truth. Sometimes these are a hit, sometimes they are a miss. But the times they do hit can really leave you reeling. More than once I was thinking, "oh wow, that's good... that can preach."

I almost wanted to give this book 3 stars. It is more Christian-based motivational speaking than Bible-based inspiration. There are also a few points where I completely disagreed with him: Jesus doesn't have a quiet time, and stop studying the Bible and start living it instead. (why not do both?) Also, he spent years commuting daily by plane so that he could live in San Diego, work in Seattle, and still be home daily with his family. I love the commitment, but such a waste of resources...

But when push comes to shove, Bob Goff just seems like such a genuinely good person. I would absolutely love to sit down with him and pick his brain. Or better yet, tag along on one of his wild and crazy ideas. His talk about being willing to step out and try, even if it is almost certain you will fail (which is never the horror we imagine it to be) speaks right in my wheelhouse. So in the end, I am rounding up to four stars.

Bob Goff is a favorite author of mine. I have read all of this books and I value his words. This book was no different than his others. His format was similar in this book, a lot of personal stories linked to lessons he's learned from them. I found the book to be easy to read and inspiration to apply. I enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone looking to make a move and be more intentional in their time and resources.

Undistracted by Bob Goff is a must-read book for anyone looking to focus on what really matters in life. This book offers practical and inspiring advice on how to cut through the noise and distractions of modern life and live with intention and purpose.

What sets this book apart is the author's unique and engaging writing style. Goff writes in a conversational tone that feels like a friend offering you advice over a cup of coffee. His anecdotes and stories are both entertaining and thought-provoking, and his insights on living an intentional life are backed up by his own experiences and successes.

Undistracted is not just a book of theories and ideas; it is a practical guide for living a more focused and intentional life. Goff offers concrete advice on how to identify and prioritize what really matters, how to set goals and stay on track, and how to cultivate healthy relationships and community.

One of the most powerful messages of this book is that living an intentional life is not just about achieving personal success, but about making a positive impact on the world. Goff encourages readers to use their gifts and talents to serve others and make a difference in their communities, reminding us that true success is measured not by what we achieve, but by how we love and serve others.

Overall, I highly recommend Undistracted by Bob Goff to anyone looking to live a more intentional and fulfilling life. The book's engaging writing style, practical advice, and inspiring message make it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to cut through the noise and distractions of modern life and focus on what really matters.

I love Bob Goff and his stories and this book brought that. It blows my mind how he continues to be able to share new stories with each book he writes. This was the first Bob Goff one I've listened to though and I really enjoyed hearing it in his voice.
