*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Attention Under Attack explains why focus feels harder than ever in a hyperconnected world and what to do about it. Drawing on the realities of constant notifications, algorithmic feeds, infinite scroll, and nonstop context-switching, Clara H. Benson shows how modern digital life fragments attention at work, school, and home. The book makes a clear case that distraction is not just a matter of weak willpower; it is also shaped by design, habits, stress, sleep loss, and the systems that compete for our time and mental energy. Readers will learn why multitasking reduces comprehension and memory, how the brain gets trained to chase interruptions, and why deep concentration can feel so difficult after years of interruption. With practical, grounded strategies, the book offers ways to reduce friction, protect attention, and rebuild the capacity for calm, sustained thinking. Ideal for professionals, students, parents, and knowledge workers, this is a timely guide for anyone who wants to think more clearly and reclaim focus in everyday life.
