Pages : 224
Book Description
A cognitive psychologist explores how smartphones, pop-up ads, and other distractions are impacting our attention spans—and what we can do to improve concentration. We are in the midst of an attention crisis—caused in large part by our smartphones. The a constant stream of information is making it harder and hard to concentrate. In this book, attention expert and cognitive psychologist Stefan Van der Stigchel explains how concentration works and offers advice on how to stay focused in a world of beeping smartphones, channel surfing, live-tweeting, pop-up ads, and other distractions. The good news is that we now know more about brain and behavior than ever before, and Van der Stigchel draws on the latest scientific findings to explain: • How the battle for our attention began long before the digital era • Why our phones are so addictive • The importance of working memory and how to increase its capacity • Why multitasking is bad for our concentration—as seen in the Best Picture debacle at the 2017 Oscars • The positive effects of taking “tech breaks”, meditation, and daydreaming • And much more! We can win the battle for our attention, Van der Stigchel argues, if we have the knowledge and the tools to do it.

Book Description
Most people today have the attention span and focus of a hyper-caffeinated squirrel chomping down on methamphetamines like tic tacs. We hop from unfinished project to unfinished project, flit around piled-up work by giving in to accessible diversions at the drop of a hat, and so on and so forth - until we're left with ever increasing piles of work and ignored responsibilities, and basically as much control over our minds as a junkie going through withdrawal. But instead of playing slave to our minds, we can wrest back that lost control through a series of simple tips and everyday exercises. After all, curiosity is an excellent trait - in moderation - and if we bend our minds to our will, instead of the other way around, we can amp up productivity, focus, etc., while achieving a calmer mental state. And that is the purpose of this book! So, are you ready to delve into these secrets, new and old, and gain control back over your mind from these never-ending distractions?
