Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again by Johann Hari

18 highlights

It’s always tempting to mistake your personal decline for the decline of the human species.

“...she wonders if it isn't genetic - the whole personal tidiness thing. One is destined to become one's mother, after all. This thought makes her smile to herself - there are worse things.”
― Susie Steiner, Missing, Presumed

“They haven't been unhappy these last few years, quite the opposite. But it's been a long, long time since she felt that sense of giddy love that effervesces in the pit of your stomach and spectacularly upends the world.”
― Blake Crouch, Dark Matter

“Fifteen years ago, before we met, Daniela was a comer to Chicago's art scene. She had a studio in Bucktown, showed her work in half-dozen galleries, and had just lined up her first solo exhibition in New York. Then came life. Me. Charlie. A bout of crippling postpartum depression. Derailment. Now she teaches private art lessons to middle-grade students.”
― Blake Crouch, Dark Matter

“Life... is full of compromises you never thought you'd make when you were young.”
― Susie Steiner, Missing, Presumed

“This is Daniela with an energy like the first time we met fifteen years ago, before years of life-the normalcy, the elation, the depression, the compromise-transformed her into the woman who now shares my bed: amazing mother, amazing wife, but fighting always against the whispers of what might have been.”
― Blake Crouch, Dark Matter
