For Stolen Focus, internationally best-selling author Johann Hari went on a three-year journey to uncover the reasons why our teenagers now focus on one task for only 65 seconds, and why office workers on average manage only three minutes. He interviewed the leading experts in the world on attention and learned that everything we think about this subject is wrong.

We think our inability to focus is a personal failing—a flaw in each one of us. It is not. This has been done to all of us by powerful external forces. Our focus has been stolen. Johann discovered there are 12 deep cases of this crisis, all of which have robbed some of our attention. He shows us how in a thrilling journey that ranges from Silicon Valley dissidents, to a favela in Rio where attention vanished, to an office in New Zealand that found a remarkable way to restore our attention.

Crucially, he learned how—as individuals and as a society—we can get our focus back, if we are determined to fight for it.

Interesting new perspective

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 17 novembre 2022

Achat vérifié

Johann Hari’s book falls into an emerging category of books that target the common narrative that technology is a universal force for good in our lives. This first emerged in the academic literature and has been popularised in recent years in books like Deep Work by Cal Newport, Attention by Casey Schwartz, and The Distracted Mind by Adam Gazzaley and Larry Rosen. The common theme across those books is that technology is increasingly fragmenting our attention. Predatory algorithms are designed to exploit our basic psychological needs to keep us glued to our screens in an attempt to extract more advertising money. Johann Hari’s book provides a detailed exploration of these ideas, interspersed with his own reflections and experiences. The tone is sometimes a bit too alarmist for my liking, but it may resonate with some readers. The unique aspect of this book is that Johann Hari adds a broader societal perspective. While many other books recommend personal interventions, e.g. putting your phone out of reach to avoid distraction, Hari takes a critical view of this “cruel optimism”. He argues that the business model of big tech companies that make their wealth through advertising undermines any individual effort. Instead, he suggests activism to spark political change that could regulate these companies or bring them under state control. This broader societal perspective added a new dimension to the debate that I had not previously considered. This book is a well-written and well-researched account of the attention economy that I would highly recommend to anyone who has ever wondered why they had just wasted another 2 hours on their phone.

The first half is great

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 1 février 2022

The first half of the book is centred around social media and phone use, which really is incredibly interesting and inspired me to use these apps a lot less than I was doing. Hooray!

Things go slightly awry however in the second half. Johann interviews a man who says that chemicals are not tested before they are used in the environment - this is untrue (at least in the UK, if this is in the US only it should be made clear). The field of ecotoxicology may be small but it does exist and I have worked in it myself. I have LITERALLY lab-tested chemicals before they are allowed to be used in the environment. After this error I wasn't able to take the book so seriously.

Johann moves on to ADHD, which is interesting, but a lot of the information comes from neurotypical people, rather than neurodiverse people themselves.

All in all I loved the first half, I have loved Johann's other books, but the second half of this one didn't quite hit the mark.

Can't remember what you were looking for?

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 16 juin 2022

This book has many redeeming qualities. It is highly informative about the aims and ambitions of what most of us are exposed to, not just daily, but practically all of our waking hours. We live on our screens. We tap. We look away, and return to tapping that screen.
This book is very revealing as to why we are hooked to our social media and our ever growing screens (they're getting huge!). He delves into the origins of the internet, the people behind it, and the disturbing motives and greed of those who have profited (beyond) handsomely for their roles in our lives. I'm not going to say you need to read this, but you will be more informed of why you scroll, why the scroll even exists, and again, the motives of the inventions that engage you, and keep you engaged. Most of all, it attempts to explain the damage that is being done to us and our children. Our IQ, our concentration, and consequently, our learning, are all put at a disadvantage, and the author has the facts and figures to back up his claims.
The author poses difficult questions for us as individuals and as parents. He doesn't have all the answers unfortunately, but knowledge and awareness can lead to power over what seems to control us, that's if we use the knowledge and awareness that we gain. A good read, but now how do we get our kids (and ourselves) to reduce media platform exposure to increase focus, without them hating us? I hope his next book can lend a hand with that!

Excellent read - apart from the blatant ideology

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 13 janvier 2023

Achat vérifié

This book starts off well. It deals with the crisis of concentration, the influence of the internet and social media, deals with the way these models are monetised, and offers useful insights into where we are now. The problem occurs when the author allows his political views to interfere with the narrative, including but not limited to trump, brexit, russia, feminisim etc. His broader societal solutions revolve around the socialist utopias of the four day working week, and the introduction of universal basic income despite the fact that as I understand it virtually every single small scale trial of UBI has failed, and the only large-scale trial (furlough in the UK during COVID - but you may as well dress it up as UBI) has virtually bankrupted the country. His reliance on showing us the "socialist way" has a tendency to alienate any conservative reader, which is a shame as conservatives also suffer from the same issues of concentration.

He offers very useful insight into the problems facing society though, and for that reason the book is worth a read. He's inspired me to, for example, read more books, and change my device habits.
