Having trouble focusing these days? Studies show that in the United States, office workers average only three minutes while teenagers can focus on one task for only sixty-five seconds at a time. We think our inability to focus is a personal failure to exert enough willpower over our devices. The truth is even more disturbing: our focus has been stolen by powerful external forces that have left us uniquely vulnerable to corporations determined to raid our attention for profit. How can we reclaim it? Investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Johann Hari (Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention and how to Think Deeply Again) spent three years interviewing the leading experts in the world on attention and learned not only the causes of this problem but how — as individuals, and as a society — if we are determined to fight for it — to get it back. Join us to find out!
