Nick Hutchison explains how reading strengthens attention span by forcing you to focus on one thing. He points to The 12 Monotasks by Thatcher Wine, which identifies reading as one of twelve activities that slow your mind and ground you in the present moment.

Chapters

Reading improves your attention span. This book taught me the importance of reading. Sometimes it's not about implementing information and making change, despite the fact that I preach that all the time, but it's about the act of reading itself. Spending time with a book, flipping through the pages, experiencing it as it's happening in the present moment. It's a monotask. So in this book, The 12 Monotasks by author Thatcher Wine, he's going to bring you through 12 activities that will not only improve your attention span but help slow things down and bring you into the present moment.
