Books that explain why we feel distracted, overstimulated, and mentally “off”?

Lately I’ve been trying to understand something about my own behavior.

I get distracted very easily — switching between tasks, checking my phone without thinking, avoiding anything that requires deep focus.

But the strange part is… I don’t even enjoy the distractions anymore.

Scrolling feels empty.
Videos feel repetitive.
Even after “resting”, I don’t feel refreshed.

At the same time, when I try to focus, it feels uncomfortable almost immediately — like my brain is used to constant input and doesn’t want to slow down.

It doesn’t feel like just a discipline problem.

More like something has changed in how attention works.

I’m looking for books that go deeper into this — not just productivity tips, but:

• why attention feels broken
• how overstimulation affects the brain
• why distractions stop feeling rewarding
• and how to rebuild focus and mental clarity

Prefer something practical + grounded, not overly academic.

Would really appreciate recommendations.
