Attention didn’t collapse. It was stolen (2022)

I really enjoyed Stolen Focus. But that's because I wrote a similar book the same year.

Some of the most thought-provoking resources on this topic in my opinion are:

- Amusing Ourselves to Death

- Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television

- The Century of the Self

- The Shallows

- The Attention Merchants

- Much of William James philosophy

If anyone wants a copy of my book "Enough. Seeking less in a world of more." Send me an email and I'll gladly send you a free copy.

I would but I'm trying to cutdown on attention stealing devices.

It's ironic that you are trying to steal focus in order to tell others about how their focus has been stolen.

No different than this guardian article stealing focus to do the same with a book launch!

It's only stealing if something of value isn't being provided in return
