A deeply personal, expertly researched investigation into the weight loss drugs revolutionising our approach to food from bestseller Johann Hari.

La nostra capacità di prestare attenzione è in crisi, e Johann Hari esplora le ragioni di questo problema e come riconquistare il nostro focus. Dopo aver vissuto difficoltà di concentrazione a causa del continuo passaggio tra dispositivi, Hari intraprende un viaggio globale per intervistare esperti e studiare scoperte scientifiche. Scopre che la comprensione di questa crisi è errata: negli Stati Uniti, gli adolescenti si concentrano su compiti per soli sessantacinque secondi, mentre i lavoratori d'ufficio faticano a mantenere l'attenzione per tre minuti. Questa incapacità è spesso vista come un fallimento personale, ma in realtà è il risultato di potenti forze esterne, in particolare l'ascesa dei social media e degli interessi aziendali, che hanno rubato il nostro focus. Nel suo racconto coinvolgente, Hari presenta una varietà di esempi, dai veterinari che diagnosticano cani con ADHD a informatori della Silicon Valley che rivelano le tattiche dei social media. Esamina anche una favela a Rio, dove la perdita di attenzione è acuta, e un ufficio in Nuova Zelanda che ha trovato tecniche efficaci per ripristinare il focus. Identificando dodici vere cause di questa crisi, come il declino della lettura sostenuta e l'aumento dell'inquinamento, Hari propone una "ribellione dell'attenzione" per riconquistare il nostro focus, sia individualmente che collettivamente.

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.

This shocking account of the War on Drugs and the alternatives to it is 'superb journalism and thrilling story-telling' - Naomi Klein, author of No Logo
