Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again

By Johann Hari

Reclaim your mind from the forces that are profiting from your distraction.

Stolen Focus is a deep eye-opener about the modern crisis of attention. Johann Hari spent years interviewing the world’s leading experts to understand why our ability to pay attention is collapsing. He discovered that this isn’t just a personal failure of willpower, it is the result of powerful external forces, from social media algorithms to high-stress lifestyles, that are systematically damaging our focus.

But this book isn’t just theory, it gives a strong roadmap to reclaim your focus. It provides a radical new way of looking at our lives and rebuilds the mental environment needed for deep work, deep thinking, and meaningful connection.

The Attention Revolution: What Awaits You Inside

Hari identifies the 12 deep causes for our loss of focus and offers a way to fight back. You will explore:

• The Surveillance Capitalism Effect: Understand how apps are designed to keep you scrolling and how to break the psychological loops they create.
• The Myth of Multitasking: Learn the biological cost of “switching” tasks and why it makes us slower, dumber, and more stressed.
• The Flow State: Discover the science of “Deep Work” and the specific conditions you need to reach peak mental performance.
