b'In these \\u2018Moment\\u2019 episodes of my podcast, I\\u2019ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO.\\xa0Johann Hari, is the man behind multiple bestselling books speculating on depression, anxiety, happiness, and loneliness.

Whether that\\u2019s twitter posts or Instagram captions, the medium of these messages make us impatient when it comes to reading a book.

Slowing down, looking at one bit and spending time thinking about what you are actually reading is how we are going to increase our engagement.
