Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention – And How to Think Deeply Again
“The book the world needs in order to win the war on distraction.” (Adam Grant, author of Think Again)
“Read this book to save your mind.” (Susan Cain, author of Quiet)
I thought this book was a fascinating look at how our screens have taken over our lives and ruined our ability to focus on what we would probably all agree is most important. Big Tech companies have moved well past clever marketing techniques and now dive deep into our personal information because we have given them permission. Unfortunately they are using this information to drive our behavior and our decisions. At times it is depressing to see how much we have given up. But it is also critical that we see those things so we can know how to change. If you have ever thought that maybe you should spend less time looking at your screen, this is book worth reading.
