Recognize the problem - be aware of how social media is affecting your attention and mental health.Ĭreate a plan - set specific goals and guidelines for how you will use social media and other digital devices. Hari's solution to this problem is a four-step process called "The Attention Revolution:" For example, he points out that social media algorithms often prioritize content that is most likely to generate a reaction or engagement, rather than what is most important or relevant. He cites numerous studies and examples to support his argument, including the ways in which social media companies manipulate our emotions and the negative impact on our ability to form deep and meaningful relationships. Hari argues that the constant notifications and distractions of social media are having a detrimental effect on our ability to focus, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and overall dissatisfaction with our lives. The book provides insight into the ways in which social media platforms are designed to keep us hooked and distracted, and offers practical solutions for regaining control of our attention and living a more fulfilling life. "Stolen Focus" explores the effects of social media on our attention spans, mental health, and overall well-being.
