Strengthening your attention in a distracting world. 

Developing attention skills can make ordinary moments feel richer and help avoid making uncomfortable ones worse. While there’s a growing interest in the science of attention, there will always be an art to putting the discoveries into practice. Just as with physical exercise, we have to find attentional exercises that we will do — and then actually do them consistently in order to experience the benefits.   

Guests on The Art of Attention podcast share their strategies for cultivating focus, self-regulation, and resilience. Hear from experts who are exploring ways we can inhabit our lives more fully and compare notes with people who practice deciding what to pay attention to — more often than never.
