Reclaim Focus: Overcoming the Attention Economy

How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell is a thought-provoking manifesto that challenges the societal pressures of productivity and constant engagement in the digital age. Odell explores how the relentless demands of social media and the attention economy distract us from meaningful experiences and relationships.

Through art, philosophy, and ecology, she advocates for reclaiming our attention by engaging with the natural world, fostering deep connections, and cultivating intentional presence. Odell reframes "doing nothing" as a form of resistance against exploitative systems and a way to rediscover what truly matters.

This book is both a critique of modern culture and a guide to finding joy and purpose in a world overwhelmed by distractions. It invites readers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with their surroundings in a deeper, more meaningful way.
