How We Fix The Attention Crisis

Some Prompts for SALON 03: ATTENTION

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.

Johann Hari
