Hi Shakers!

Join our next book club meeting! We will be discussing:

Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again

by Johann Hari (the New York Times best-selling author of 'Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs', and one of the top-rated TED talkers of all time.)

In the United States, teenagers can focus on one task for only sixty-five seconds at a time, and office workers average only three minutes.

Like so many of us, Johann Hari was finding that constantly switching from device to device and tab to tab was a diminishing and depressing way to live.

He tried all sorts of self-help solutions—even abandoning his phone for three months—but nothing seemed to work.

So Hari went on an epic journey across the world to interview the leading experts on human attention—and he discovered that everything we think we know about this crisis is wrong.

Join us to discuss author's discoveries on Tuesday, September 19 at 5:00-6:00 p.m. CET !

Looking forward to discussing with you!
