Workbook: Stolen Focus by Johann Hari: Why You Can’t Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again

This is an Independently Created and Unofficial Workbook and analysis of Johann Hari’s book Stolen Focus and NOT the original book. This workbook is meant as a companion to the original and should not be considered a replacement for the original. In our Workbook, we will unpack the main points of Hari’s book and provide you with the opportunity to practice the lessons taught. Here you will find the following tantalizing sections. Chapter Overviews – Clear and Concise – Ment as a bird’s eye view of the main theme and lesson of each chapter to be discussed. Goal Statement – So you know what you will be accomplishing at the end of each chapter. Highlighted Key Takeaways – A chapter breakdown of every key point and takeaway supported with detailed outlined commentary making for easy focus and referencing. Check for Understanding – Test your knowledge of the information covered. Self-Reflection Questions – Designed to help you gauge where you currently need help and practice. Action Step(s) – Created to encourage you to take real actionable steps to better implement the lesson of each chapter. Self-Evaluation – Intended as a way for you to evaluate your own progress with the action step and the chapter’s lesson(s). Here are some reflection questions you will encounter in this workbook. What things in your life are holding you back from achieving the vision you have for your future? How do you maintain your concentration and flow while performing your tasks? How much sleep do you get normally, and how do you think it affects your attention throughout your day? Do you think that your habit of reading has increased your level of sensitivity to the people around you? Do you think when you use social media you become meaner and cruder towards people? If yes, then why is it so? We have truly taken the time to be very intentional with our workbook. Unlike other workbooks, we cater the questions and writing prompts to you the reader, and how you are progressing and relating to the information so that they can impact you on a personal level. We do sincerely hope you get everything you will need with our workbook. It’s simple but powerful. We encourage you to not give up on your journey to a better life and hope that we at Cosmic Publications can at the very least be a small part of that journey with you. Best Wishes, The Cosmic Publications Team
