Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention by Johann Hari

Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention by Johann Hari. 'If you read just one book about how the modern world is driving us crazy, read this one' - The Telegraph. 'This book is exactly what the world needs right now' - Oprah Winfrey. 'A beautifully researched and argued exploration of the breakdown of humankind's ability to pay attention' - Stephen Fry. 'A really important book . . . Everyone should read it' - Philippa Perry. Is your ability to focus and pay attention in free fall? You are not alone. The average office worker now focuses on any one task for just three minutes. But it's not your fault. Your attention didn't collapse. It has been stolen. This Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, and a Spectator and Financial Times Best Book of 2022, was also named a Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month. This paperback edition offers a deeply researched exploration into why our collective ability to focus is under threat.
