Beschreibung:
Gay Watson is the author of several books, including A Philosophy of Emptiness, also published by Reaktion Books. She splits her time between the United Kingdom and California.
Attention is central to everything we do and think; yet it is usually invisible, transparent, lost behind our fixation with content. We pay attention to this and that moment or we let our attention wander, but we rarely give attention to the process of attending and distraction. It is typically viewed instrumentally, in terms of what it can achieve, and so its process and practice are overlooked, yet it is central to neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to create new neural pathways in order to adapt - and underlies both the mindfulness revolution and the concern about the influence of new social and digital media.
A suitably engrossing investigation of attention through many disciplines and ways of life, from neuroscience to surfing.
