I heard Gloria Mark speak at a Rotman Lifelong Learning Conference. She is the definitive expert on distraction and multi-tasking in an increasingly digital world.  In her book, you will discover why multitasking hurts rather than helps productivity, how social media and modern entertainment amplify
our short attention spans, what drains our mental resources and how to refuel them. If you are interested in your well-being and how to gain agency in this digital age, then you will find this book to be a valuable guide.
