169: Are LGBTQ+ people in an attention crisis? with Johann Hari | Part 1


Listen Later

Ever watched TV while also scrolling through your phone? Well author & hit TED talker Johann Hari has written a book with mind-blowing discoveries about why big tech companies make it their business to keep us scrolling šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« and it’s a fascinating read. Johan’s clever perspective on life has a knack of making you feel like you’ve been sleep walking through it until he wakes you up with another powerful take on it all - first it was addiction, then it was depression, and now he’s turned his incredible mind to Attention. He came by for a good old yarn about his new book ā€˜Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention’, what that means for LGBTQ+ people, and we find out what crazy thing happened to a Picasso painting in Vegas 😵
