The general take
Mick Hunt sees Indistractable as a useful framework for maintaining focus despite constant distractions and opportunities, applying it to both personal life and business principles. He frames it as a practical response to modern challenges rather than offering criticism, though the quote focuses more on the question it raises than endorsing a specific answer.
About
"Indistractable provides a framework that will deliver the focus you need to get results." (James Clear, author of Atomic Habits ) You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. Later, as you're about to get back to work, a colleague taps you on the shoulder to chat. At home, screens get in the way of quality time with your family. Another day goes by, and once again, your most important personal and professional goals are put on hold. What would be possible if you followed through on your best intentions? What could you accomplish if you could stay focused and overcome distractions? What if you had the power to become "indistractable"? International best-selling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley's handbook for making technology habit-forming.

…nir discusses his second book addressing attention control and avoiding unhealthy habits
“Then I looked at the other side of the story. I wrote Indistractable, which is all about how to control your attention and choose your life. So we want to get hooked to the healthy products, and then we want to kind of disconnect and stop getting so distracted by the things that aren't so healthy, whether that's drinking too much or smoking too much or clicking too much or scrolling too much. How do we make sure that we live our life with intent and without regret?”
