      This could not be more topical to me! I I was shocked to see my screen time over the last week and my god it exemplifies why I’ve went from successful to on benefits. I love Johann and his book on depression but I can’t wait to get into this book.
      This is life changing!

      This was so important for me to listen to. I never realised this was a pattern in my life. I own a business where I create dip powders for women to use on their nails. I always avoid creating colours when I am tired because I don’t feel I produce my best work. But when I decide I am making colours that is all I do on that day because I value my flow state. I never realised I do this until I listened to this podcast today. Thank you so much 🙏🏽
      P.s one thing that helps me is putting on a podcast that is a few hours long so that I feel I am not missing out on my phone. But because I am listening to something I don’t look at my phone and it helps me work in a continued flow👌🏾

    My phone is always on silent, no vibrate no alerts. 3 people know if they were to call me my phone will ring. All other numbers are silent. I deleted Facebook 10 years ago and that was a game changer for my family and business. No TikTok, no Snapchat and no IG. I actually walk my dog and notice the new leaves on a tree growing in Spring. We now spend more time outside riding bikes and roller blading. Our cell phones go in the room and stay there till morning, we never look at them. What’s changed? I’m happy, we’re happy. 😁

    1hr and 40 minutes of two exceptional people talking about a wonderfully important (albeit potential unpopular) topic. Almost every day, both Johann Hari & Steven Bartlett
    add enormous value into my life. In a world where many mainstream journalists are emphatically adding to the fear and loathing of life across societies, Johann will always remind me that authentic, meaningful journalism does still exist, it’s just unfortunately less commonplace. Thank you Steven and Johann, this podcast is probably more important than 99% of people might realise.

    I just finished reading Stolen Focus and I am delighted to see Steven that you interviewed Johann. It is an amazing book. I love the amount of ground the book covers regarding the ways our attention and ability to think is being robbed from us on so many fronts. I originally was looking for a book on ADHD and with Johann’s book I found so much more. It is scary it is happening and that attention problems aren’t just those of us with ADHD. We are all being torn apart mentally in ways we don’t even understand and could never have been prepared for. His book is an urgent message to us all and one we all need to get together and do something about.

      I was totally in awe of that too because my memory is terrible. However, how many of us bother to check that he got it all right (no one, I'd wager). The trick is to sound confident but I'm sure he did get it right because if he was unsure the interview would have been easily edited.

      ​@littlemisssunshine2931 I can almost guarantee they will be spot on ...why?
      Johann was a rising star in serious journalism with a regular broadsheet column , he had recently won one of the most well regarded prizes in journalism ,one that had George Orwells name attached when it was discovered he had plagarised other people's work , cut and pasted material claiming it as his.
      Johanns worst enemy seems to be his ability to get a bit carried away .
      He disappeared for a good while but has made a marvellous come back with such important contributions to popular journalism His sometimes laboured referencing of anyones work not his own is understandable but i think he could ease up a bit now . We get it johann and we love ya mate

    I began watching this while working on some 'easier' tasks at work. I am 15 mins in and have paused it as Johann has already made me realise that anything I want to fully understand requires my full attention. I'll continue when I'm less busy, I can already see where I need to apply that level of distraction less focus in other areas of life.

    i once forgot my phone at home...i thought uh oh, i felt a bit naked and lost...then I got on the train...looked around...went to work as normal and the whole day i wasn't checking for messages or answering phone calls seeing which agent had gotten me a job...utter peace. And I am not even addicted to my phone as much as others. I also remember going to Iceland with my sister marvelling at the geysers...we were taking photos of when the hot geothermic water would shoot into the sky...but because i had a camera stuck to my face....i didn't experience it...or i experienced it with a filter over the top. So we decided to put our camera down and when the water shot up again....it just felt amazing and I could share the euphoria and release with the crowd. I love listening to Mr.Hari's wisdom.

    I stopped watching @ 27:13 to walk to my local library to find a hard copy of this geniuses book and on my way I looked around me, at the world I lived in, looked at the use of technology replacing human interaction, and my heart sank. I felt lost and alone around a thousand people who wouldn’t look up unless to move around me. I don’t think any young persons perception of the future is clear, but as a 23 year old college student just starting out in the big “real” world in this day and age, I stood outside the library wondering, feeling my phone going off in my pocket, just wondering where I’ll be years from that moment. Where will our continuously advancing world take me? What would my children’s lives be like if this focus problem is only starting to be realized? Will there even be physical libraries or would the one I’m standing outside of right now be turned into an exhibit that only existed in virtual reality tours that showed what was, hasn’t been, and never will be again, so my great grand kids could look at the building standing still with next Gen XR Glasses in amazement for only seconds just as I would and did at my grandfathers first typewriter? Scary.

    Between '82 and '97 , I was a 2nd grade teacher dealing with ADHD and Ritalin in my students. Born in 1955, I'm certain I had it before it was given a name. I'm certain thousands of abused children had it. I was brutally disciplined and learned to manage my behavior to avoid abuse. I still struggle with symptoms today. I have no doubt it's aggravated by emotional and environmental pollution

    • @dancole2994
      @dancole2994 Рік тому +1

      I hear you, I think it's a real thing but every letter in 'ADHD' seems an inaccurate description. I've noticed it's those neglected and/or put down and/or forced to fit into boxes that don't fit their nature who get labelled ADHD; even sporty types and creatives who are bored by a classroom setting, and they get shamed for it.

    • @MaTeTris
      @MaTeTris Рік тому +4

      ​@@dancole2994 Actually, the vast majority of children are bored in class, so perhaps, like Ivan Illich suggested, schools are the problem.
      That isn't to say that teachers aren't doing their job. It is the system that fails: classes should be smaller, there shouldnt be so much pressure at home (parents over here push children to study-they even have classes in the evening to learn what they werent able to learn in normal school hours), teachers are pushed to accomodate to burocracy, stupid laws, etc, they are not properly trained to deal with 25+ students per class (some of them with behavioural problems or disabilities or autistic...and the vast majority with a huge problem with lack of focus...) and they end up feeling stressed out, anxious...you name it. No one can be a good teacher in that environment. They also have to deal with pressures from authorities, parents...violent children...
      So no one, even those who looked fine and did well at school, is free of what you point out.

    It should be more than just close to 400 000 views, why are people not interested in seeing reality? Too scared that they are part of it. I have this book and will for sure dig deep into is asap.

    I'm 80. A widow. Live alone in a big city, no friends or family here. I'm not depressed, but I AM unfocussed. Can't read books and have to listen to audiobooks (they're brilliant !). Can't learn anything because I can't focus. Fortunately, I'm bright and there's already quite a lot of my head. Johann is becoming a kind of hero, in spite of the irony of finding him through the Internet ... I've read about his earlier period, so am not falsely hero-worshipping - just amazed by his ability to say things that are entirely meaningful. I'm hoping that my next stage is going to be developing the ability to use them.

    UA-cam suggested this channel to me. Is it because it’s proven to be ‘addictive’? Or is it because it’s proven to be good? Language is a powerful reframe. Optimising for what is good, entertaining, beautiful, delicious, moving...is a natural law simply mimicked by algorithms. Survival of the fittest. Can it be potentially harmful? Yes. Why? Because it leaves us at the mercy of our self discipline. And that’s tough. Incredibly tough. Maybe the most powerful thing is interviews like these, creating awareness around WHY we need to exercise discipline around social media. Just like creating awareness around why we need to exercise discipline around sugar...TV...sedentary modern lifestyles. We live in a world continually optimised for comfort and pleasure. Many of us enjoy incredible freedom and wealth. The most powerful lessons we need right now are around the value of discomfort and self discipline. Things that Jonathan and Steven have both embraced in order to build success in their respective fields.

    I’ve watched this after I read the book and it’s been worth having the key messages reinforced in this interview. READ THE BOOK. The clarity with which Hari describes the symptoms I’ve been feeling creep and grow in myself and in society around me was reassuring but has also helped me see that the change required is systemic and needs cooperation. He doesn’t mention here but in the book he lists groups and movements which are fighting the good fight on a number of fronts. Worth joining in and supporting l. I don’t mean that in some kind of socialist worker style rally or fight the power bullshit way but conscious rebuttal is needed from folk otherwise we are sleepwalking into a horrible future. Well done Johann 👏🏽

    I've just relistened to this powerful podcast. It's so uplifting and raises such important issues which need attention in our current times. I know I'll be back here again soon to relisten.

    These are such amazing conversations Steven. Johann is just so interesting. As a parent this information is just so important for developing mindful approaches to managing tech as a family. I'm a recent viewer but absolutely hooked!

    Steven's point on 'books not having comment sections' is fantastic. It's also fascinating to think that users just copy the narrative denounced by whoever is top comment. I've never thought about this but frankly I'm not surprised. It holds congruent to philosopher Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory.
    "“Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires.” - Rene Girard
    Mimetic theory shows how disturbingly heard like people become in many different contexts. Mimetic imitation drives social groups in ways that are seemingly insane. It's the reason people crowd the same market stall when there are other stalls with no customers. It's the reason that everybody wears the same North Face puffer jacket. It's the reason everybody 'likes' the same top of the charts substandard musician.
    In the case of what Steven is saying, it's the reason everybody follows the narrative of the top comment. It's because people don't know how to feel or what they desire to feel from his posts. They would rather imitate/support the consensus of the most upvoted top comments narrative.
    This is comment is obviously rambling, but I do really find this point fascinating.

In the middle of watching Steves podcast with True Geordie on the True Geordie UA-cam channel and I look up Steve Bartlet on UA-cam and I come across this video and the Jordan B Peterson video really excited to watch these!

    Wow, just wow, this topic is fascinating to me and definitely, one of the most pertinent topics to be addressed in our current days. From everything I've learned with this 1 interview, it's made me a better mum to my 2 young children. I can only say a massive THANK YOU to both of you, and can't wait for the book!

  • @bastianslettelandsigvaldse6277

    one of my favourites, this one. Ive been aware of my own urge to express passion and and the voice in my head is abit apologetic about it, but most people i talk with support it. This helped me to see that the passion or the emotion is the medium and our power/choice is in being curious about our own health rather than status. Thank you for sharing these videos, they make me more optimistic and definately makes clraning more fun :)

    Attention is also needed to avoid accidents. Just thinking about a story i read today about a lorry driver ploughing into cars on a motorway killing 3 people because he was on the phone looking at dating sites. If we aren't focused on what we are doing, we aren't doing our jobs. just wanna say i can't understand why you haven't got 5million or more subscribers...feels like i stumbled onto something special.

    Great podcast, really insightful content. Smart watches are the new scourge on our attention in my opinion - constant inescapable interruptions until you take it off and turn it off, yet users often forget to reply to messages or act on notifications. I choose to stick to an old fashioned analogue watch for this reason.
