Through compelling accurate stories and technological research, they display how digital interruptions affect every aspect of lifestyle – from work, safety and conversation to our relationships and health. The way our brains work mean we are all as well very easily hijacked by ‘weaponry of mass distraction’, but there are countermeasures we can take. Rosen and Gazzaley give proven strategies for regaining and keeping control over where we choose to target our attention, making The Distracted Mind essential reading for anybody who wants to make best usage of their human brain today.
