Reading, Mindfulness and Finding Focus in the Age of Distraction

The other day, someone commented on the book I was reading - a novel in the Game of Thrones series - and added that he would so much rather follow the show on HBO. When I asked him if he has ever given the books a chance, he said that he just cannot stay focused …
