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. 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
of something central to our lives yet all too often neglected, this
book will appeal to all those who find their attention wandering
owing to the distractions and clamour of modern life, and want to
know why.
