Episode description
Adam Alter at NYU performed a study that showed that almost 50% of teens say they'd rather have a broken bone than a broken phone.
Multiple multi-billion dollar industries rely on taking your focus from what you are doing to what they are offering. How do we get that back?
On this episode today we'll talk about "spotlight focus", and how to get your bearings in this new world we must navigate through. I recently read Johann Hari's book Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention - and How to Think Deeply Again. I'll talk about his research on how we think and how we focus, and his six major things we can do to change our focus in our life.
Enjoy!
