Description
Why have we lost our ability to focus, what are the causes, and, most importantly, how do we get it back? For Stolen Focus, internationally bestselling author Johann Hari spends three years uncovering the reasons behind our shortening attention spans. He interviews leading experts on attention and discovers that everything we think about the subject is wrong. We see our inability to focus as a personal failing, a flaw in each of us, but it is not. Powerful external forces have done this to all of us, and our focus has been stolen. Johann identifies twelve deep causes of this crisis, each of which has robbed us of some of our attention. He explores them in a thrilling journey ranging from Silicon Valley dissidents to a favela in Rio where attention vanished, and an office in New Zealand that found a remarkable way to restore it. Crucially, he learns how individuals and society can regain their focus if they are determined to fight for it.
