Johann Hari
“We are now exposed to ten times the amount of artificial light that people were exposed to just fifty years ago.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again

Johann Hari
“One day, James Williams--the former Google strategist I met--addressed an audience of hundreds of leading tech designers and asked them a simple question: "How many of you want to live in the world you are designing?" There was a silence in the room. People looked around them. Nobody put up their hand.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again

Johann Hari
“The sensation of being alive in the early twenty-first century consisted of the sense that our ability to pay attention—to focus—was cracking and breaking.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again

Johann Hari
“We live in a culture that is constantly amping us up with stress and stimulation.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again

Johann Hari
“If you see the world through fragments, your empathy often doesn’t kick in, in the way that it does when you engage with something in a sustained, focused way.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again
