In part 2 of this stomp, Johann Hari shares the science behind why, much to many people’s disbelief, our focus isn’t getting worse – it’s being stolen.

From the tech you use to the food you eat, Johann explains the surprising factors behind why you may not be able to pay attention like you used to.

He also shares how a trip to Elvis’ house in Graceland with his godson showed him how difficult it is to escape the problem of distraction.
