How To Do Nothing
Manage episode 295804590 series 2884683
Today we’re talking about How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell. In this complex and wide-ranging book, Odell argues that attention is our most precious resource. The first half of the book is about disengaging from the 'attention economy,' and the second half is about re-engaging with something else: time and space. Odell argues for a recognition of and engagement with ecology and of the history of the places we inhabit.
