$ 24.95

Why You Can't Pay Attention - and How to Think Deeply Again
Hari went on an epic journey across the world 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 even more disturbing: our focus has been stolen by powerful external forces that have left us uniquely vulnerable to corporations determined to raid our attention for profit. Hari found that there are twelve deep causes of this crisis, from the decline of mind-wandering to rising pollution, all of which have robbed some of our attention. Crucially, Hari learned how we can reclaim our focus — as individuals, and as a society — if we are determined to fight for it. Stolen Focus will transform the debate about attention and finally show us how to get it back.
