Part of the experience of being alive in the twenty-first century is the feeling that your attention span is collapsing, along with those of everyone around you - including your children. Why have we lost our ability to focus? What are the causes? And - most importantly - how do we get it back? In Stolen Focus, internationally bestselling author Johann Hari sets out on a global investigative journey into our shortening attention spans. He tells us what he learned from spending three months off the internet, reveals the inside story of the war to grab our attention that is waged every day, and explores why those prescribing mood stimulants to 10% of children in schools are getting it so wrong.Drawing on more than two hundred interviews with the world's leading experts on attention problems, Stolen Focus moves beyond individual solutions towards a collective understanding of a problem facing us all. Only by first solving the attention crisis, Hari argues, can we turn to fixing the issues

The Great American Recession resulted in the loss of eight million jobs between 2007 and 2009. More than four million homes were lost to foreclosures. Is it a coincidence that the United States witnessed a dramatic rise in household debt in the years before the recession?that the total amount of debt for American households doubled between 2000 and 2007 to $14 trillion? Definitely not. Armed with clear and powerful evidence, Atif Mian and Amir Sufi reveal in House of Debt how the Great Recession and Great Depression, as well as the current economic malaise in Europe, were caused by a large run-up in household debt followed by a significantly large drop in household spending.Though the banking crisis captured the public’s attention, Mian and Sufi argue strongly with actual data that current policy is too heavily biased toward protecting banks and creditors. Increasing the flow of credit, they show, is disastrously counterproductive when the fundamental problem is too much debt. As their

哈佛大學的訓練法 × 史丹佛大學的出題 時代改變了，只能說出與大家同樣的答案將會被AI取代！ 面對不確定的未來，「充滿人性」的能力，將會更吃香。 Q：跳繩、便當、招募兼職夥伴有什麼共通點？ Q：如何用127元在一個星期內創造最大幸福？ Q：如何分辨初次見面的醫師是否值得信賴？ Q：什麼是「躺著工作」的職業？ Q：是否想過如何改善橡皮擦越來越不好用的問題？ Q：你知道廉價航空是如何誕生的嗎？ 世界經濟論壇（WEF）列出2020年後，人該具備的10項重要能力： 1. 問題解決能力（Complex Problem Solving） 2. 批判性思維（critical thinking） 3. 創造力（Creativity） 4. 管理力（People Management） 5. 人際關係調節力（Coordinating with Others） 6. 情緒商數（Emotional Intelligence） 7. 判斷與決策（Judgment and Decision Making） 8. 服務導向（Sercive Orientation） 9. 交涉力（Negotiation） 10. 認知彈性（Cognitive Flexibility） 除了連續蟬聯榜首的問題解決能力外，與5年前不同的是，多了批判性思維、創造力、情緒商數和認知彈性這四項技能，偏偏這四項又是亞洲國家普遍欠缺的能力，作者查覺到這點，引進了哈佛大學教育學部提倡的「磨練孩子思考技巧」為基礎的訓練法，加上史丹佛大學與作者出的題目，鍛鍊出能在AI時代勝出的創造力、提問力、邏輯力、表達力、柔軟性和自我思考力。 【國外暢銷佳績/得獎紀錄】 ★ 榮登Amazon.JP 邏輯思維類TOP50 ★ Amazon.JP 讀者五顆星評價 【內容簡介】 人類「獨一無二的能力」是什麼？ 趁現在磨練新時代的必備技能，創造屬於自己的獨特價值吧！ 批判性思考是本書的基礎，在歐美甚至被認為是「繼閱讀、寫作、算數之後的第四種能力」。 所謂「批判性思考」的本質，就是「靠自己的大腦仔細思考，得出自己的答案」，也是一種「邏輯＋想像力」的思考法。 根據邏輯爬梳想法的條理，運用想像力使思考更加深入，依此找出自己的解答。過去人們經常用常識敷衍過去，喪失懷疑的能力，只能說出和大家相同的答案。因此在全新的時代，我們需要的就是「批判性思考」的技能。 本書
