Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention–and How to Think Deeply Again

byJohann Hari

In the United States, teenagers can focus on one task for only sixty-five seconds at a time, and office workers average only three minutes. Stolen Focus rests its case on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. Stolen Focus also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in psychology and self – help. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of why you can’t pay attention–and how to think deeply again and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
