Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention by Johann Hari
5.0
This book is an essential read for anyone curious about the impact of our fast-paced, social media-saturated, and highly developed modern lifestyle on human cognition and behavior. The first half of the book is particularly engaging, offering a wealth of practical tips and strategies for personal growth, parenting, and everyday routines. It’s both insightful and inspiring.
The second half shifts focus to broader ideological themes, presenting what might feel like a manifesto advocating for systemic changes. While some may find this approach a bit assertive, the author's perspective is both thought-provoking and timely. Johann rightly highlights the urgent need for global transformation, even if focus is just one foundational aspect of the broader challenge.
