Our lost focus

Our lost focus why we have become suffering problem of lack of attention: author: Johan Hari language: Arabic publication date: 2023 book format: paperback publisher: Dar Al-Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution number of pages: 367 about the content of the book: "When my son was baptized at the age of nine, he developed a very intense obsession (which didn't last long) with Elvis Presley. He started repeating the song 'Jailhouse Rock' loudly, trying to imitate the King's own voice, and shaking his hips like him. He didn't realize that this style of singing had now become a joke; and that made him perform it with all the sincerity of a child not yet a teenager, believing that this made him look great. And in the brief moments before he sang the song again, he would ask to know everything about Elvis (everything! everything!). I told him that silly, sad, exciting story. I told him: Elvis Presley was born in one of the poorest cities in Mississippi... a place far away, very far. He came into this world with a twin brother who died minutes after birth. In his childhood, his mother told him that his brother could hear his voice if he sang to the moon every night, so he started singing and singing. He began performing his songs in front of audiences at the same time television was spreading, so he quickly became more famous than anyone before him. Wherever Elvis went, people would shout out of excitement, to the point that his whole world became a shouting match. He withdrew into a cocoon he made himself, where he began to praise his possessions instead of glorifying his lost freedom. He bought his mother a palace called 'Graceland'."
