Vår evne til å konsentrere oss er i fritt fall. Collegestudenter i USA har klarer nå i gjennomsnitt å holde fokus på én oppgave i 65 sekunder, og kontormedarbeidere kun i tre minutter. I Stjålet fokus legger den internasjonale bestselgerforfatteren Johann Hari ut på en langstrakt reise for å snakke med verdens ledende eksperter og finne ut hvorfor dette skjer med oss - og det han konkluderer med er at alt vi trodde vi visste om dette feltet er feil.Vi tror vår mangle evne til å konsentrere oss er våre egen personlige falitt - en skavank ved hver og en av oss. Det er det ikke. Dette har blitt gjort mot oss - av mektige eksterne krefter - og det har blitt gjort over tid. Vårt fokus har blitt stjålet fra oss.Hari oppdager at det finnes tolv dypereliggende årsaker til denne krisen, og han viser oss hvordan han oppdaget det gjennom en engasjerende reise - en ferd som tar ham fra Silicon Valley-avhoppere, til vegetarianere som diagnostiserer hunder med ADHD, fra en favela i Rio der alle har mistet konsentrasjonen på en spesielt surrealistisk måte, til et kontor på New Zealand som oppdaget en bemerkelsesverdig teknikk som ga deres ansatte konsentrasjonsevnen tilbake.For viktigst av alt er dette en bok som viser oss hvordan vi kan gjenvinne vårt fokus, dersom vi bestemmer oss for å kjempe for det. Svarene vil både overraske og engasjere deg. Dette er en bok om vår pågående oppmerksomhetskrise ulik noen annen du har lest.

A grand new vision of cognitive science that explains how our minds build our worldsFor as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that information flowing from our senses determines what our mind perceives. But as our understanding has advanced in the last few decades, a hugely powerful new view has flipped this assumption on its head. The brain is not a passive receiver, but an ever-active predictor.At the forefront of this cognitive revolution is widely acclaimed philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark, who has synthesized his ground-breaking work on the predictive brain to explore its fascinating mechanics and implications. Among the most stunning of these is the realization that experience itself, because it is guided by prior expectation, is a kind of controlled hallucination. We don't passively take in the world around us; instead our mind is constantly making and refining predictions about what we expect to see. This even applies to our bodies, as the way we experience pain and other states is shaped by our expectations, and this has broader implications for the understanding and treatment of conditions from PTSD to schizophrenia to medically unexplained symptoms. From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, it is our predictions that sculpt our experience.A landmark study of cognitive science, The Experience Machine lays out the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain for our lives, mental health and society.

From the author of Irreversible Damage, an investigation into how mental health overdiagnosis is harming, not helping, childrenIn virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z's mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What's gone wrong?In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn't the kids - it's the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers and young people themselves, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits: for instance, talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression; while 'gentle parenting' can encourage emotional turbulence - even violence - in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult to be in charge.Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to support our kids have backfired - and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.

"At this very moment, we are moving through space at 130 miles per second, and yet we don't notice at all. Nothing slips and falls off the kitchen table as the Earth spins, and our bodies aren't catapulted against random buildings and trees by the planet orbiting the Sun. We, and everything around us, move at the same rate, so we simply don't notice the force that propels us through space. Nor do we notice the strangest fact of all, that we and everything around us ripple through the universe like whitecaps on the ocean, emerging from the cosmic backdrop and yet moving through it as though the backdrop wasn't even there. Indeed, whether it be through our senses of sight and touch, through our ability to drink soda on an airplane, or through navigation apps on our phones, we are constantly engaging with these peculiar aspects of the cosmos, even though we rarely recognize it. In Waves in an Impossible Sea, theoretical physicist Matthew J. Strassler explains how our lives, every day and every moment, are shaped by the core tenants of physics that make up the universe. Examining big picture concepts, like motion, mass, waves, fields, quanta, the Higgs field, and the quantum world, Strassler relates these theories to our ordinary lives. Ultimately, concludes Strassler, we humans are integrated into the universe - one might well say we are a part of it, an instantiation of the cosmos in action - rather than merely outsiders living inside it. Accessible and profound, Waves in an Impossible Sea offers a crash course in everything from the theory of relativity to the Higgs field, relatable to anyone who has ever rode in a car or laid in bed"--
