The World Beyond Your Head: How to Flourish in an Age of Distraction de Matthew Crawford

The World Beyond Your Head: How to Flourish in an Age of Distraction

Autor Matthew Crawford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2016
From 'one of the most influential thinkers of our time' (Sunday Times): how to respond to today's demands on our attention
In this brilliant follow-up to The Case for Working with Your Hands, Matthew Crawford investigates the challenge of mastering one's own mind. With ever-increasing demands on our attention, and with capitalism increasingly invading every space, how do we focus on what's really important in our lives?
Exploring the intense focus of ice-hockey players, the flow of a cook in their element, and the inherited craft of building pipe organs, Crawford argues that in order to flourish, we need to return to lives where we establish meaningful connections with objects and the people around us.

Recenzii

Absolutely superb: elegant, surprising, hard-hitting and very important
Both impassioned and profound
Very entertaining . . . [with] many interesting insights
Crawford makes the crucial point that this is a political problem. The creators of smartphones, social networks designed to hook us, the firms buying ads on escalator handrails and media organizations desperate for your clicks and sharesare all helping themselves to something that's ours - the limited resource of our attention - to try to turn a profit
There are now many books reminding us to pay attention butCrawford also reminds us of how we lost attention in the first place - and putting the problem in its historical context makes the case more compelling
