Hi there,

As promised in last week’s newsletter, below are some prompts for the upcoming Salon on ATTENTION. You can revisit the reading list here, and then maybe take a minute or so to watch Courtney Love speaking on focus - and to read her accompanying comment below the post - last week in Paris. Thoughts? (On an unrelated note, her recent interview on Marc Maron’s podcast is entertainment gold.)

Have a great week, and thank you for reading.

Phoebe

SALON 03: ATTENTION

Prompts

“The truth is that you are living in a system that is pouring acid on your attention every day, and then you are being told to blame yourself and to fiddle with your own habits while the world’s attention burns.”

Johann Hari

How have you attempted to “fiddle with your own habits” in order to improve your attention span? How successful have these attempts proved to be?
