Johann Hari: Stolen Focus – Why You Can't Pay Attention

Johann Hari: Stolen Focus – Why You Can't Pay Attention

This week on the Mad in America podcast we hear from Johann Hari. Johann is an internationally bestselling author whose books have appeared in 38 languages, and he was twice named National Newspaper Journalist of the Year by Amnesty International.

We last heard from Johann in 2018 about his then-new book Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression and the Unexpected Solutions. Today, we get to talk about Johann's latest book, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention, released on the sixth of January 2022 in the UK and January 25th in the US and Canada.

For Stolen Focus, Johann went on a three-year journey to uncover the reasons behind our inability to focus and to understand how this crisis affects our wellbeing and society. Crucially, he learned how we can reclaim our stolen focus if we are prepared to fight for it.
