Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention - And How to Think Deeply Again by Johann Hari, Johann Hari
5.0
Eye opening and compelling, this is the book I read this year that I most want other people to read, especially those who work in education or those who have or live with/love those who have ADHD. His argument about how technology is manipulating us and distorting our focus, theories around root causes and treatments for ADHD and other attention deficit disorders, and general approach to reframing our inability to focus not as an individual failure but as a systemic issue that requires societal and industrial changes has shifted how I think about and approach my own attention issues differently. Illuminating and urgently needed. Don't skip!
