What happens when our devices, originally meant to enhance our productivity, start chipping away at our ability to focus? Overwhelmed by a ceaseless flood of information, we find ourselves helplessly trailing from one bright, shiny prospect to another. In this week's episode, hosts Lori Vajda and Nola Boea explore this modern paradox in our new segment, Beyond the Cover: Books for Personal and Professional Growth. Our journey begins with Johann Hari's insightful book, "Stolen Focus", that peels back the layers of our growing struggle with concentration in this digital age.
