STOLEN FOCUS by Johann Hari | Core Message 

Yeah like to see if i like the book before i actually read it or if it's a concept i have already read in another book

@@nickardomccrae1519 Agreed, when we so frequently see newer books which are just a compilation of in part various older books.

Irony isn't always negative

Meanwhile, I'm skimming through the video as well.

I thought this exact thing too hahaha

I guess it's a compromise between setting priorities and being productive. I guess you could say, Why not 6 hours in the morning (although it is likely evening by then), but then you spent too much time planning to make yourself productive that you skip the productivity.

Make your payback speed 0.75

@@tpmash Thankyou for the tip! I tried it out and it's much better now!

0.75 seems like a much better speed. I almost wonder if the audio was sped up for the video.

James Clear, Atomic Habits and Robin Sharma, the monk that stole a Ferrari… the only 2 I follow, I believe they do

I would highly recommend this book. According to me this summary, unfortunately, fails to mention some very important ideas that Johann has emphasized in this book. He mentions that this is a Systemic Problem and Individual-level solutions will not suffice. He talks about this idea called "Cruel Optimism", it is when you take a really big problem with deep causes in our culture-like obesity, depression, or addiction and you offer people, in upbeat language, a simplistic individual solution. I definitely don't think Johann comes across the "Idea Gurus" that you talk about. In a way, I think he makes his readers aware of such people through the discussion of Cruel Optimism
