- This is part 1 of an exclusive How To Academy event. Watch part 2 here: • Multitasking is a myth...
Johann Hari has met the leading experts in the world on attention - and learned that everything we think about this subject is wrong. We think our inability to focus is a personal failing - a flaw in each one of us. It is not. This has been done to all of us - by powerful external forces. Our focus has been stolen. But crucially, he has discovered how - as individuals, and as a society - we can get our focus back, if we are determined to fight for it.
Johann Hari is the New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions, and Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention. Since he stopped being a columnist for the Independent in 2011, he has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Guardian, Le Monde, the Spectator, Politico, Salon and many others. On RUclips, Johann’s videos for TED (‘Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong’, ‘This could be why you’re depressed or anxious’), JRE Clips (‘Depression isn’t a chemical imbalance’, ‘Loneliness in America’, ‘Juarez Drug Cartel Victim’, ‘Materialism doesn’t make you happier’, ‘The solution to the opioid crisis’, ‘Why the war on drugs doesn’t work’, ‘what really causes drug addiction’), Matt D’Avella (The Loneliness Epidemic), Better Chapter (‘Avoid the Trap of Materialism’), FightMediocrity (‘The best mental health advice I’ve ever heard’, How the modern world makes us mentally ill’), Real Time with Bill Maher (Overtime on Obamacare, Charter Schools, the war on drugs), Dear Media Studio (Our brains aren’t broken), The diary of a CEO (how to fix your focus and stop procrastinating, everything you think you know is wrong), Chris Williamson (‘Why you can’t pay attention and focus’) and Dr Rangan Chatterjee (12 main reasons you can’t focus’). In this event, Johann was interviewed by Luke Naylor-Perrott, a producer at How To Academy.
Great job. I’m glad to have Premium, where this was not interrupted by ads.
Ironic to the subject matter, I look forward to hearing more.
I do have the forward commitment to be unplugged for most of today. I do this often ⭐️
With mindfulness becoming a popular term, we realize how we struggle 2 pay attention. 2 be present is life's purpose, however most ppl only live in their minds. Never here now.
We all understand the RUclips model of adds, but please have them at the start! Such a brilliant mind, let down by the constant interruption of said advertisements!!!
I love how everytime I start paying attention to Johann talking about stolen attention a god damn mid roll ad starts playing and steals my attention from him
If you cannot simply be by yourself, then obviously, you are in bad company. 🙏
Nice talk on focus and attention! Would be a shame if it was interrupted by pop-ups...
All ready happen to me three times... so annoyinggg
As I pause you because I want to continue listening to your studies and research,statistics.
I must say I have said to people I didn’t watch TV in years but I’ve been on RUclips for six or seven.
I truly enjoy the exploration of different subjects like an encyclopedia until it’s taken over to personal matters but I didn’t feel like I had shit with them or anguish that I didn’t want to know going on in the world
As well fighting back the anguish of with the phones that my husband warn me but he himself abused our personal time with…commercials are awful they’re becoming more and more as of 20 through 23
Great subject and presentation.
I am listening to this and enjoying what I am learning and what I am paying attention to and a commercial comes on and ruins it.
Funny how your ‘click and subscribe’ notification keeps popping up WITH SOUND to distract from the talk 😂 👏🏼
I read some comments
Im commenting,.. and thinking of a call coming.. AND YWS,.. ‘just TURN UR HEAD’!! You @ Graceland🏆
Thank you. This really does help.
The dudes accent is why I listen 🤘🏻
This video would have been so much more, if it wasn't for the 3 or 4 advertisements.
I keep telling my family that telling me to pay attention is not going to work, but they ignore me instead of taking me to a doctor about my issue. I try so hard, but it sometimes doesn't work for me.
I was looking at something on FB and then the audio stopped....
Oh how I want to add one more thing what I miss the most is hearing someone pick up the phone with noise in the background possibly music and getting a feel for the mood doing a state of mind the situation and feeling a connection that you don’t get I’m talking through text or cell phones because you can’t play the music at the same time and then there’s noise canceling ugh
Dear me: playing Jewel in the first window and having this in the second window... And angry about me failing at beating my own highscore...
Very frustrating to not to show the whole conversation...
Did you lose your focus and attention?
LOL!
I'm not looking at my phone but I am listening at 1.5X playback speed 🙄
That's a great trick to increase the speed. Thank you
😪 Part two is a private upload

Mischel did the marshmallow test not Baumeister.
The ads interrupting this talk are obnoxious.
Pop ups are distracting!!! Go figure!!
I’m surprised he seems so perplexed by this issue. If this had been without the nostalgic pixel quality, I’d been uncomfortable listening to this revelation. I hope he’s well.
I believe he really has some thing of value but this guy can talk .
ADD or ADHD in my opinion is far more common today than 20-30 years ago. I’m suggesting that multiple vaccinations are a factor. A child at one year old has been given 70 vaccinations!! Together with the modern Hi-Tech World we live and function together in has to be a factor as a side effect of genetic interference.
