Stolen Focus

Home / Books / Stolen Focus

By Johann Hari

Johann Hari was finding that constantly switching from device to device and tab to tab was a diminishing and depressing way to live. So Hari went on an epic journey to interview the leading experts on human attention - and he discovered that everything we think we know about this crisis is wrong. We think our inability to focus is a personal failure to exert enough willpower over our devices. The truth is our focus has been stolen by powerful external forces that have left us uniquely vulnerable. Hari learned how we can reclaim our focus - as individuals, and as a society - if we are determined to fight for it.
