Graphic and composite by New Dimensions

Here find four programs that will help us focus our attention to lead us to a more vibrant life in work and relationships. Jenny Odell encourages us to contemplate the attention economy and notice how it is dominating cultures worldwide and how to resist it. Gallagher shows us why certain things grab our attention and not others and how we can train ourselves to focus on what is important to us. Prendergast points out why it is important to notice where your attention is localized in your body and shows us that there is another way of knowing beyond our analytical mind. The Hawks say there is a line in our life, above which we feel enlivened and energized and below which we feel drained and exhausted. They suggest we pay attention to when we are truly “lit up” in our lives and to notice when we are truly feeling energized.
