Attention Span

I enjoyed this book. The first few chapters felt like someone had literally crawled inside my head and watched me work for the past few years. Crazy the amount of distractions we all deal with daily. I gave this 4-stars only b/c I felt the book was a little short on practical methods to regain focus - many of the tactics mentioned were things I personally already do. I did find it insightful how Dr. Mark broke down how we've gotten to this point - especially the data around film and shot sequence timing - wow - completely learned something new there. If you are a Cal Newport fan you'll find this book interesting. Even though there is a lot of data the book is written in an easy to read format.

Great read and informative.

The last 1/10th of the book is what I was looking for - how to reduce distractions and improve your attention span. The rest of the book leading up to that is just dry summaries of clinical studies. I get that was needed (to a limited degree) to set the stage for the recommendations, but it's marketed as a book for people who want to gain control of their attention span. It would be better marketed as a book for researchers looking to study attention span.

I liked it.
