I'm conflicted on this one. A privileged middle aged white man with no kids/spouse/external responsibilities escapes to a Cap Cod town w/o a smartphone or internet access to reset his focus. Then he gets to resonating facts and anecdotes as he makes it clear that this is a systemic issue, not one of individual failing. He ends with the admission that he doesn't have it figured out; there is no "true path", no self help prescription for what we're up against.

In the midst of the good information, Hari drops the ball when it comes to ADHD. Goodreads reviewers with ADHD have expressed the problem better than I ever will, but the bottom line: too much cherry picking that makes it seem like ADHD is entirely an environmental cause of systemic failures. I recommend the book still, but beware of this problematic portrayal.
