Stolen Focus

What if the greatest threat to your future isn’t distraction, it’s the world conspiring to keep you from paying attention?

In Stolen Focus, Johann Hari unpacks one of the most pressing crises of our age: the collapse of attention. From the endless scroll of social media to workplaces that demand perpetual multitasking, our ability to think deeply, concentrate, and create meaning is being eroded. Hari blends cutting edge research in neuroscience, psychology, and technology with personal investigation, asking hard questions about how modern life is reshaping the human mind.

But this isn’t just a story about screens; it’s about systems. Hari reveals how diet, sleep, surveillance capitalism, and even the structure of our education and work environments are stealing our most precious resource: focus. With urgency and clarity, he argues that regaining attention is not just about individual willpower, but about collective action to reclaim our humanity from forces designed to fragment it.

Both a wake-up call and a blueprint for renewal, Stolen Focus challenges us to fight for the ability to think, connect, and live fully. It’s a book that forces you to confront what’s slipping away and inspires you to imagine a world where attention is once again sacred.
