Lean Out with Tara Henley

EP 4: Stolen Focus


Listen Later

If you’ve noticed during the pandemic that you have brain fog, that you can’t read, or concentrate, you are not alone. Many people are struggling with this loss of focus – and Tara's guest on the podcast today says that’s been years in the making. He argues that our attention did not just collapse – that it was stolen from us – and that this development has major implications for society. New York Times bestselling author Johann Hari is here to talk about his new title, Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again. In it, Hari outlines twelve forces that have reduced our ability to focus – and many of them will surprise you.
