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.

Internationally bestselling author Johann Hari shows twelve deep factors harming our focus. Once we understand them, together, we can take back our minds.©2022 Johann Hari (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Kritikerstimmen

A brilliant book about one of the most important topics of our time (Dr Rangan Chatterjee)

This mind-blowing book explains everything. Read it and be free (Simon Amstell)

There's so much in this book . . . Unbelievable, juicy dynamite that you have to read (Chris Evans)

I think this book is exactly what the world needs right now . . . I hope everybody buys the book. I promise you it will be worth your time and certainly worth your focus (Oprah Winfrey)

Johann Hari writes like a dream. He’s both lyricist and storyteller – but also an indefatigable investigator of one of the world’s greatest problems: the systematic destruction of our attention. Read this book to save your mind (Susan Cain)

I don’t know anyone thinking more deeply, or more holistically, about the crisis of our collective attention than Johann Hari. And this is a crisis that we must address if we are to meet any of the other pressing emergencies we face as a species, whether ecological or social. Which means that this book could not be more vital. Please sit with it, and focus (Naomi Klein)

A story that so many of us have felt needs to be told, but whose cause and consequences are hard to capture and articulate without guesswork, prejudice or ideology. Hari not only achieves this and more, but he does so it with the pace, sparkle and energy of the best kind of thriller writer. I can’t remember reading a book which made me shout out “yes! That’s it!” quite so many times (Stephen Fry)

A highly original and wide-ranging investigation into the causes of our epidemic of flagging attention. Written with Hari’s trademark incisive prose, indefatigable search for scientific evidence vividly presented, and illustrated with telling anecdotes, Stolen Focus is a bracing and necessary wake-up call to us all (Gabor Maté M.D.)

A fascinating journey into the mind and how it is being manipulated with devastating effects. Hari’s subject is something that is affecting us all and this seminal work will be one of the defining books of our era . . . Get off social media, switch off the TV, put down your smart phone and do one thing – read this book’ (Dr Max Pemberton)

Stop whatever you’re doing and read this book. A deeply researched, disturbing, and yet ultimately hopeful exploration of the primal crisis of our time: our diminishing ability to focus on what really matters (Rutger Bregman, author of HUMANKIND)

If you want to get your attention and focus back, you need to read this remarkable book . . . [Hari] has cracked the code of why we’re in this crisis, and how to get out of it. We all need to hear this message (Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global)

An unbelievable storyteller . . . It might just change your life (Steven Bartlett)

Am relevantesten

Johann wrote another captivating book about a pressing relevant issue in our world. That being said the conclusion is quite depressing. Learning that Johann only managed to improve his attention and focus by 15 to 20% after all the time and effort he invested in solving the problem is quite discouraging.

Additionally, as an educator working at a democratic school, a school such as Sudbury Valley School Johann mentions in the book, I was disappointed to hear Johann was sceptical about the model. Based on my understanding of the plethora of the longitudinal research future adults who graduate at democratic schools are way happier and more successful in their adult life than their peers graduating from traditional schooling, while the Sudbury model being 50% cheaper than traditional schools. That means that we could improve our schooling system by making it 50% cheaper, all a the same time.

Johann's voice was very pleasant and he did a good job voiced acting while reading. Unfortunately the audio recording is lacking in quality because I could hear Johann mumble, trip over words, swallow air and smack his lips very often during his narration. I wish the quality control department of the recording studio was a bit more meticulous in their work.

Great book overall, much recommended!
