The Myth of Multitasking
The book challenges the notion that multitasking is effective, explaining through scientific insights that humans are inherently single-taskers. Hari describes how our attempts at multitasking, which he defines as rapid task-switching, result in lower productivity and more errors. He warns, 'If you're not fast, you're fucked,' highlighting a cultural obsession with speed that undermines our ability to focus deeply.
