Synopsis:

Hijacked: How Digital Distraction Took Over Your Mind and the PRECEPT Framework to Take It Back is a practical, hope-filled guide for anyone who feels scattered, overstimulated, and stuck in a constant loop of checking their phone, being on the iPad, or sitting in front of the TV.

Business coach, consultant, and keynote leadership speaker Jim Koetting pulls back the curtain on what is really happening in your brain. Drawing from decades of sobriety, leadership coaching, and personal experience, he shows how smartphones, social media, and nonstop notifications hijack the same reward systems as chemical addiction—training your brain to crave fast dopamine while slowly weakening focus, resilience, and joy.

Instead of shaming you or asking for superhuman willpower, Jim offers a simple, repeatable path back to clarity: the PRECEPT Framework.

PRECEPT stands for:

• Pray – reconnect with something bigger than yourself

• Read – feed your mind with truth instead of noise

• Exercise – move your body to reset your brain and nervous system

• Capture – get thoughts and tasks out of your head and onto paper

• Engage – be fully present with real people in real life

• Practice – build small, consistent disciplines that compound over time

• Think – slow down, reflect, and choose how you want to live

Through relatable stories, brain chemistry explained in plain language, and step-by-step practices, Hijacked helps you:

• Understand why you reach for your phone even when you do not want to

• Break the cycle of distraction and anxiety

• Reclaim your attention, energy, and internal calm

• Become more present as a leader, partner, parent, and friend

• Build a life so meaningful you no longer feel the need to escape it

Hijacked is not about abandoning technology. It is about taking your mind back and learning to live on purpose in a world designed to pull you away from what matters most.
