Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again

by Johann Hari

Description

In our hyperconnected world, our ability to focus has become increasingly fragile—and it's not an accident. Bestselling author Johann Hari embarks on a global investigation to uncover the real reasons behind our epidemic of distraction, challenging everything we think we know about attention and revealing that the problem runs far deeper than smartphones and social media. Drawing on cutting-edge research from leading scientists and experts, Hari exposes the systemic forces stealing our focus and offers practical, evidence-based strategies to reclaim our capacity for deep thinking and meaningful engagement. This beautifully researched exploration is essential reading for anyone struggling to concentrate in an age of constant distraction—from students juggling social media to professionals overwhelmed by information overload. Stolen Focus is a wake-up call and a roadmap for reclaiming the mental clarity we've lost.
