"Reclaiming Focus" explores the impact of digital technology on our ability to concentrate and live mindfully. The book examines how smartphones and constant connectivity have altered our habits and cognitive processes since 2007. It argues that current technology usage patterns are unsustainable and harmful to our mental well-being and productivity.
The book is structured in three parts: introducing the concept of "continuous partial attention," examining the consequences of digital overload, and offering strategies for regaining focus. It presents research on how multitasking affects cognitive performance and provides a framework for creating a more balanced relationship with technology.
Drawing on scientific studies and case studies, the book combines research with practical advice. It introduces the concept of "attention hygiene" and includes a 30-day digital detox plan. Written for knowledge workers, parents, and educators, it aims to help readers improve their productivity and well-being in the digital age.
