bridget phetasy phetasy walk-ins welcome podcast grit authenticity walk ins welcome cousin Maggie Johann Hari focus attention

Original Air Date - 2/24/22
Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention, is back to discuss the collapse of our ability to pay attention and the 12 factors that are causing it. He and Bridget discuss how being chronically distracted is twice as bad for your intelligence than being stoned, living in a perfect storm of cognitive degradation, the loss of our ability to focus on deep things, the privilege of being able to disconnect, and why it's not a coincidence that our attention has collapsed at the same time we're finding it impossible to solve our problems as a society. They also cover how to get into a flow state, what's going to happen 20 or 30 years from now if we don't restore children's attention, the pleasures of reconnecting, how social media was designed to destroy your attention and why it does not have to work the way it does right now, the way the incentives change when the business model changes, and why Johann thinks Bridget owes Brad Pitt an apology.

She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
