Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention

4.5 stars. Very little of this information was new to me, although I was surprised at how much material he covered. This is not just about tech companies developing addictive software, although he certainly explains that well. He also talks about pollution, the educational system... 12 chapters, 12 reasons for our lack of focus, so it's more of a whole life approach.

If you're interested in the broader reasons for why attention has become such a problem, this is an excellent place to start. You can then dive more into the specific area you find most relevant.
