In this episode we speak with Gloria Mark. Gloria is Chancellor's professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. She received her PhD from Columbia University in Psychology and studies the impact of digital media on people's lives. Her new book, Attention Span is the culmination of years of research, understanding attention, distraction, and how to live with digital devices.
In this episode, we discussed the important arguments of her book:
that there are different states of attention
controversially, that a flow state is not always optimal nor achievable
that different people are more or less susceptible to distractions, and,
that it's not just our devices that are degrading our attention spans.
Finally, we discuss a number of ways in which we can reclaim control over our valuable attention.
