from Business Talk · host Business Talk

Dr. Gloria Mark, Chancellor’s Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, brings thought-provoking insights from her research and her acclaimed book “Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness, and Productivity.” She explores how we can better understand and manage our attention in today’s digital age. In Attention Span, psychologist Dr. Gloria Mark - “the definitive expert on distraction and multitasking” (Cal Newport) shares decades of research on how technology shapes our focus. We now spend just 47 seconds on a screen before switching, and it takes 25 minutes to recover from interruptions. Dr. Mark uncovers why multitasking harms productivity, how social media drains attention, and what truly helps us refuel. Introducing her new concept of kinetic attention, she offers practical ways to regain focus, balance, and well-being in the digital age.
