When you think about the content of this book, it just may tell you some things about yourself.The presentations by the author on the Internet are not very impressive, so don’t watch them. Read this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thankful for this book, which has really made me a better person! *by H***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2022* This book really helped me to adjust to living now, with all the demands on our attention.Personally, I want to develop my own intelligence so that I get better and better at making a difference in the world, not only through my work, but also through my quality of attention in my personal relationships.Reading this book equipped me with knowledge to make more informed decisions about how I take in information and how I pay attention. So it's helped me improve in both ways. I think reading this book has set me on a path of making a bigger, stronger positive difference.I read more, and less distractedly. And though this isn't a big topic in the book, I am also less distracted when I'm with people. If there were habits about skim-reading the people in my life, I think some of those have been rooted out too.Thanks, Maryanne Wolf! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good and important but tedious *by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020* This book was tedious but important. With the digital age comes the increasing gaps between the information we read and the analysis and reflection we apply to it. Reading a book encourages understanding, empathy, and contemplation. Reading things online encourages skimming, reading without expansive thought. (Studies show we read differently between physical and digital.) Our reading circuits (yes this is a thing in our brains) can be changed with this skimming method in lieu of total immersion in a story. To truly take advantage of our increased connectivity, we need to be "fluent in both languages." That's basically the author's long-winded plea, to which she works up through a series of letters to the reader. She also makes very plain how lack of empathy or critical thought can have exceedingly negative consequences because people lose (or don't want to use) the ability to, for lack of a better term, sniff out the bullshit. Some important points, which I will paraphrase due to length:--threats to critical thinking: 1) when any powerful framework for understanding our world (e.g. political or religious view) becomes so impenetrable and strict that even evidence- or morally-based opposion is ignored; 2) absence of any developed personal belief system in due to lack of knowledge or interest-if info is perceived as surface-level entertainment, it stays at the surface and doesn't evoke deep thought or critical thinking-"the last thing a society needs is what Socrates feared: young people thinking they know the truth before they ever begin the arduous practice of searching for it"-when we retreat from the complexity of human life, we turn to what conforms to the narrowing confines of what we already know (and our existing prejudices), never kicking the tires-Reading allows us to understand "the other" (people unlike ourselves, characters with feelings or people we will never meet). Without it, we are vulnerable to people demonizing "the other." COUGH LOOK AROUND, COUGH-kids need physical books to develop a foundation for their future; introducing digital stuff like coding can be a great complement...
