-Johann Hari is an author of several New York Times best-selling books, an executive producer of an Oscar-nominated movie, and he's written for some of the world's leading newspapers and magazines. His book, [Stolen Focus](https://stolenfocusbook.com/), is about how and why society has lost it's ability to pay attention. I highly recommend this book. If you read no other book this year, please read this one.

What I wanna do in this entry is share some key points in the book that stood out to me. So if you haven't read it yet, spoiler alert.

In my last entry, I was weary of criticizing Peterson's opinions because he is so hard to pin down and I didn't want to strawman, but I feel like it's appropriate since the noises he makes give ammunition to the alt-right and since he argues in a really dishonest way by never officially taking a solid position, then accusing his critics of strawmanning and launching into an incoherent never-ending word salad when he runs out of responses.
-I agree that people should do everything they can individually to improve their situation, but you can't just pretend individual solutions and collective solutions are the same. Peterson should clarify that the self-help advice he gives only serves as individual advice, that it isn't a collective solution to anything, and that he honestly don't know what the right collective solutions are.

Personally, I think he should stick to psychology. It's not a personal attack. I just think his head isn't in the game when it comes to politics.
