Attention is central to everything we do and think, and underlies both the mindfulness revolution and concerns about the influence of social and digital media today.
In this book Gay Watson explores attention in action through many disciplines and ways of life, from neuroscience to surfing. The book contains interviews with, among others, John Luther Adams, Stephen Batchelor, Susan Blackmore, Guy Claxton, Edmund de Waal, Rick Hanson, Jane Hirshfield, Iain McGilchrist, Wayne McGregor, Garry Fabian Miller, Alice and Peter Oswald, Ruth Ozeki and James Turrell.
A valuable and timely account, this book is essential reading for anyone who finds their attention wandering due to the clamour of modern life, and wants to know why.
Gay Watson is the author of The Resonance of Emptiness: A Buddhist Inspiration for a Contemporary Psychotherapy (2002), Beyond Happiness: Deepening the Dialogue Between Buddhism, Psychotherapy and the Mind Sciences (2007) and A Philosophy of Emptiness (Reaktion, 2014). She lives in Devon and California.
