Ep 170. Stolen Focus with Johann Hari 

Wow, I wasn't the only 9 year old to be freakishly obsessed with Elvis in the 21st century! I'm really excited to read this over the coming weeks - I enjoyed Lost Connections so much. After being referred for ADHD by my GP this year, I've been plagued with thoughts that it's 80% my own defects and 20% strong external forces, so I'm excited to see what Johann has to say on the topic. Thanks for this great interview!

Great episode, everything Johann says is so true....................looking forward to the book (reserved at my local library) to avoid bring in more stuff in to my home 🙂

Great talk! 🙏🙏🙏 Can't wait to check the book out.

Portugal also made it illegal for emplyers/"superiors" to text employers. Didn't know about France.

I’m torn between getting the eBook now and waiting until March for the paperback. Paperbacks can be shared more easily: the destruction of attention span is something everyone needs to be aware of and work against.

“The Internet has existed for less than ten thousand days.” I don’t think so. Johann sometimes makes mistakes when ranting. He once said that Switzerland has a population of around five million people, but it actually tops 8.6 million.

Good content but at times discursive, - “too many words” so anacedotes can drown insights
