"I'm reading this book called Stolen Focus because I'm basically like incredibly depressed by the fact that like I get 10,000 notifications a day and it's like impacting my mood."

Used for: Understanding the broader societal and systemic causes of attention collapse
vs: Described as the bigger-picture companion to Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
"Stolen Focus by Johann Hari is worth reading on the bigger picture, not a self-help book, more of an investigation into why attention is collapsing at a population level and who benefits from that."
