Praise for Distraction

"Best Books 2008" - Australian Financial Review, BOSS Magazine

"In his lucid and optimistic book, Damon Young encourages us to tame the distractions that are pointless, and nurture those that are good." - Financial Times (UK)

"Young communicates ideas with enthusiasm and a genuine emotional connection to his subjects, their triumphs and frailties. He is a talent." - The Australian

"This author makes 'dancing' with the philosophic and artistic masters...enjoyable even though one may be tone-deaf to the
music and not know the steps." - Bookseller + Publisher

"This warm and witty book does something wonderful: it brings the great ideas of philosophy into our lives. Young is a bright new voice." - John Armstrong, author of Civilization
