Network Ireland Limerick - June Book Club

Network Ireland Limerick are delighted to invite you to their last Book Club event before we break for the summer which will be held on Monday evening, 20th June, from 6.00-7.15pm at No.1 Pery Square.

Our book club events will focus on books from which we can take inspiration and learnings that we may apply to our professional lives. It is hoped that the chosen books will elicit thought provoking conversation between members from which we’ll grow both personally and professionally, learn from each other's perspectives and, ultimately, prosper together.

The chosen book for the June Book Club is:

'Stolen Focus' by Johann Hari.

* THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *

Why have we lost our ability to focus? What are the causes? And, most importantly, how do we get it back?

For Stolen Focus, internationally bestselling author Johann Hari went on a three-year journey to uncover the reasons behind our shortening attention spans. He interviewed the leading experts in the world on attention, and learned that everything we think about this subject is wrong.

We think our inability to focus is a personal failing - a flaw in each one of us. It is not. This has been done to all of us by powerful external forces. Our focus has been stolen.

'If you read just one book about how the modern world is driving us crazy, read this one' (Telegraph)

'A beautifully researched and argued exploration of the breakdown of humankind's ability to pay attention' (Stephen Fry)
