Are we too distracted to think? The answer is worse than you’d expect.
New York Times bestselling author Johann Hari says we’re all the victims of attention theft and the consequences are catastrophic for our personal lives and our democracy. On average, adults in the workplace focus on a task for 3 minutes, and that number is declining. Johann and Laura discuss how we got here, what structural changes we need, and how we need to stop beating ourselves up.
