We're distracted from our most important work, and we don't have time to think because we've given up on a life of meaning. #2 The modern world is full of hacks that steal our time and attention. Our brains can only handle one cognitive activity at a time, and multitasking decreases our productivity by up to 40 percent. #3 The Altered States Economy is a term used to describe the way we use various sources to shift our state of mind. It represents four trillion dollars. We're choosing to get hacked, and we're paying the price for it. #4 Unhappiness is the by-product of getting hacked and not implementing your ideas. When you know your daily goals and make progress toward them, you feel good. But when you're hacked, you experience mental and emotional anguish.
