Description
Our ability to pay attention is collapsing. Johann Hari, author of Chasing the Scream and Lost Connections, explores why this is happening and how to get our attention back. He discovered that a life of constant switching between devices and tasks is diminishing and depressing, and that even abandoning his phone for three months didn't provide a lasting solution. Hari went on an epic journey to interview leading experts on human attention and study their scientific findings, revealing that everything we think we know about this crisis is wrong. He found that powerful external forces, such as corporations, have been ramping up for decades, leaving us uniquely vulnerable to their attempts to raid our attention for profit. This collapse in attention is behind many of the wider problems society faces. By examining the science and the impact of these external forces, Hari sheds new light on the crisis of attention and offers practical solutions for regaining focus in a world where distractions are relentless.
