ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention--and How to Think Deeply Again" by Johann Hari explores the attention crisis from a systemic perspective, challenging the notion that it stems solely from individual failings. Hari investigates the deeper causes of declining attention spans, including technology's persuasive design, the impact of stress and trauma, and societal factors. 
  
The book critiques oversimplified solutions and introduces the concept of "cruel optimism," cautioning against relying solely on self-restraint to combat attention issues. Hari examines how persuasive technology and manipulative algorithms exploit vulnerabilities, eroding focus. By linking childhood trauma and stress to attention deficits, the book underscores the importance of addressing external forces to reclaim our ability to focus.
