Stolen Focus
Johann Hari
Hari argues attention is under systemic assault from business models built to fragment it, and calls advice that locates the whole problem in personal responsibility a 'cruel optimism.' His own three-month detox used a time-locked safe rather than in-the-moment willpower, demonstrating that the durable fix is structural. Book 3's Chapter 5 draws on Hari to explain why the fight for attention is harder than it looks, pairing with Newport's how-to-fight-it half.
