Practice of Attention by Cody Cook-Parrott

The Practice of Attention considers what happens when distraction becomes a way of avoiding difficult parts of life. Cody Cook-Parrott draws on personal experience with social media to explore attention as something to cultivate rather than merely optimize.

An attention audit, digital-detox suggestions and daily rituals offer starting points for change. Creativity, play and service matter alongside reduced screen time; the book does not require abandoning social media or promise a cure for addiction.
