Many authors have written about the benefits of, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/unplug-from-technology-2\/\">disconnecting from technology<\/a>. But <strong>Hari makes a comprehensive diagnosis of society\u2019s difficulty in concentrating<\/strong>, including everything from our food to the economy, and he proposes societal solutions rather than individual tips and tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at <em>Stolen Focus<\/em> quotes that address the attention crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe more novels you read, the better you were at reading other people\u2019s emotions. It was a huge effect. This wasn\u2019t just a sign that you were better educated\u2014because reading nonfiction books, by contrast, had no effect on your empathy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hari argues that reading\u2014the most common flow experience\u2014is disappearing from people\u2019s lives. We engage less with the complex cognitive task of reading and, as a result, we are changing how we engage with complex topics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hari explains that as we read more from screens, we read less from the pages of books, and we ultimately become worse readers. He says more than half of the US population doesn\u2019t read any books over a year. In Britain, so few people buy books that the market for printed novels shrank by 40% between 2008 and 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to pulling us away from books, reading on a screen affects how we interact with books and information when we do read, in three ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The skimming and scanning we do on screens become our go-to reading strategy.<\/strong> This makes books less enjoyable because they\u2019re not set up for skimming and scanning.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>We absorb and retain less information when we read on a screen<\/strong>, as opposed to on paper.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Over time, <strong>we become less able to process long texts and complex information<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hari argues that struggling to read and the attention crisis are mutually reinforcing. The more difficult it is to pay attention, the less we read books; the less we read books, the less we exercise the cognitive skills that help us pay attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIn situations of low stress and safety, mind-wandering will be a gift, a pleasure, a creative force. In situations of high stress or danger, mind-wandering will be a torment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hari\u2019s proof of the attention crisis is that we\u2019re struggling to think. Our idea of concentration is being laser-focused on a specific task. However, our minds also need to wander purposefully to make connections and insights, which the constant distractions of modern life impede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brain performs three functions when your mind wanders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It has insights. <\/strong>While you allow your mind to wander, the brain unravels complex ideas, helping you understand them.<\/li><li><strong>It makes new connections. <\/strong>While your mind wanders, it makes new associations between ideas, which helps you find solutions to problems.<\/li><li><strong>It prepares you for the future. <\/strong>While the mind isn\u2019t occupied with immediate concerns, it can consider future scenarios and prepare you for them.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cNot everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hari, <strong>our model of constant economic growth drives most of the factors contributing to the attention crisis<\/strong>. \u201cSuccess\u201d under the economic growth model requires companies to get larger and individuals to get richer. To grow, businesses continuously find ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-a-product\/\">sell more products<\/a>, which traps consumers in a pattern of doing more and buying more each year. Hari contends that <strong>the stress of a growth-oriented society undermines our ability to focus, and because it\u2019s a societal problem, it requires societal solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He argues that we could shift from constant growth to a steady-state economy. In this new model, we would define success by different values, such as having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/career-security\/\">job security<\/a> and enough time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/pursue-your-goals\/\">pursue goals<\/a> outside of work. This would require changing how society functions today, including the tech business model, and work and school schedules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the most memorable quotes from Stolen Focus?
