Day 5: This Is The Best Book I’ve Ever Read On Focus
by Tyler Poole

There are a lot of books about Focus, and more specifically, regaining our ability to focus.

I've read a good number of them.

I've always related my ability to focus with my ability to be productive, and I highly value productivity (arguably too much).

I just finished "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari. I'd go as far as saying everyone should read this book.

For a few reasons:

  • We haven't lost focus, it's aggressively being stolen and fought for.

  • Big Tech is not the only problem. Factors like diet and air quality effect our ability to focus as well

  • Is the 5 day work week really the best way?

  • What would happen if you abandoned your phone for 3 months?

  • Our Stolen Focus is not just an individual problem, but a societal one.

  • Actionable ways to improve your ability to focus.

I listened to this on my walks the last week or two, but I will absolutely be reading it and taking notes in paperback form. I can't recommend this book enough.

(And if you've read it, do you agree? What other book would you recommend on the topic)
