      La atención ha entrado en una profunda crisis. ¿Cuáles son los motivos?, ¿quién nos la está robando?, y, más importante aún, ¿cómo podemos recuperar nuestra capacidad de concentración? Un demoledor ensayo que indaga en una de las grandes epidemias del momento y en sus posibles soluciones. -- Según algunos de los últimos estudios publicados, los adolescentes solo son capaces de concentrarse en una tarea durante sesenta y cinco segundos, mientras que los adultos apenas pueden aguantar tres minutos. Como muchos de nosotros, Johann Hari es consciente del peligro que supone la omnipresencia de las pantallas, así como de esa imperiosa necesidad que nos asalta de pasar constantemente de un dispositivo a otro sin levantar la vista. Hoy en día, lograr el estado de concentración necesario para acometer labores intelectualmente complejas y exigentes es casi una quimera. -- Hari decidió entrevistar a los principales expertos en concentración humana para identificar las causas de esta crisis. En El valor de la atención desglosa los doce factores que la generaron -desde nuestra incapacidad de dejar fluir la mente hasta la contaminación en las ciudades-, y denuncia a las poderosas empresas que nos están robando el foco. Además, nos da las herramientas para entender la situación, defendernos y recuperar nuestra capacidad de vivir con atención.

      From the New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, a startling challenge to our thinking about depression and anxiety.Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking antidepressants when he was a teenager. He was told—like his entire generation—that his problem was caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate this question—and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong. Across the world, Hari discovered social scientists who were uncovering the real causes—and they are mostly not in our brains, but in the way we live today. Hari’s journey took him from the people living in the tunnels beneath Las Vegas, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin—all showing in vivid and dramatic detail these new insights. They lead to solutions radically different from the ones we have been offered up until now.Just as Chasing the Scream transformed the global debate about addiction, with over twenty million views for his TED talk and the animation based on it, Lost Connections will lead us to a very different debate about depression and anxiety—one that shows how, together, we can end this epidemic.
