    Relisten: Attention Crisis: Kids & Parents - Johann Hari [494]

    In this episode, I talk to the brilliant Johann Hari. Johann is the author of three New York Times best-selling books, including the newly released Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention. In our fascinating conversation we discuss some of the biggest shifts in modern society that have had detrimental effects on our attention and the attention of our children. The good news is that each of these shifts can be corrected. However, to do this we have to decide that we value attention and we have to fight for it.

Great podcast

Thank you Hunter.

kqwpg ,

A voice of wisdom, kindness, and clarity for parents

Hunter’s beautiful and insightful manner comes through clearly in her incredibly curated selection of interviews. She offers a grounding presence (which is impressive to do through earbuds alone!) and brings parents into the present moment with gentleness but firmness, to help create a mindful and intentional path forward. Thank you Hunter for sharing your incredible wisdom!

Glofie ,

A true mentor!

As a new mama this podcast has been a lifesaver! It's inspiring, refreshing and makes everything feel ok! I love the guest speakers and her pal Carla! I always end up on a new path to other books and inspiring speakers!
