Thank you for the reference to Stolen Focus! Having had "a look inside" I think that not only I but society as a whole would benefit by reading and understanding what Johann Hari has discovered. Ilook forward to receiving my copy!

You're most welcome. The more people that read it, the better off we'll be. I've also lately been recommending a book called Ladyparts, by Deborah Copaken, especially to women of post reproductive age and the men who love them. It's a memoir, but so much more, including some recommendations that greatly improved her health, and should do so for a lot of women. She also nicely skewers the US medical system, the lack of a social safety net (complementary to stuff on that issue in Stolen Focus), American corporate culture... I found out about Stolen Focus and two other books I've bought and enjoyed listening to Christopher Lydon's Open Source (on NPR stations).

These references are very interesting! I will get Ladyparts, judging from what I've read of her medical nightmares, she also has quite the sense of humor. I see Christopher Lydon has several videos, a couple called Open Source that I will give a listen.Thank you!
