Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention

Rating: 3.5 stars

I loved Johann Hari's execution of the book and admire how he managed to live off the grid in the United States for three months. Depending on the level of privilege that someone has, they can try it as an experiment. I don't think that I would last more than two weeks without Internet so kudos to him. However, I wish that Hari would dispel the misinformation on ADHD instead of spreading it and go more extensively on the role of childhood trauma and lack of attention span. Also, ADHD is more than just hyperactivity; I wish there was more information about ADHD in terms of executive functioning, emotional regulation, and attention span.
