Restore your ability to concentrate and take back control of your life

Stolen Focus by Johann Hari reveals why so many people today struggle to maintain attention and how we can effectively tackle this problem.

Why is it so hard to concentrate nowadays? On a three-year journey around the world, Johann Hari uncovers the real causes of our declining ability to focus. He met with leading experts on attention and found that our problems are not personal failures but the result of powerful external forces. Our ability to concentrate has been stolen - a fact that connects us all.

The book takes us through fascinating stories - from dissenters in Silicon Valley, through precarious lives in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to an office in New Zealand that found a way to kickstart attention again. It’s not only an exposure of the problem but also a concrete guide on how, as individuals and as a society, we can reclaim and strengthen our attention.
