Welcome back friends! As usual we have gotten so into our conversation we could not stop talking and had to make this a two-parter. Stolen Focus, the absolute bible on navigating the modern world's incapability with staying on task (written by the brilliant Johann Hari) was our roadmap for this week's episode. Join us as we get into the truly complex and intimidating task of deconstructing the establishment of distraction. If you have been struggling to focus lately it both is and is not your fault! If you're perplexed by that answer then give this episode a listen.
