THE ATTENTION SPAN
Focus Is the First CasualtyBy Author name
Length52m
About this audiobook
Attention shortens quietly. Moments fracture, thoughts reset mid-sentence, and meaning struggles to settle before being replaced. As sustained focus becomes rare, systems adapt—compressing truth, reshaping memory, and rewarding interruption. The question is no longer what deserves attention, but whether attention can exist long enough to matter
