Artist and critic Jenny Odell joins us to discuss her bestselling book How To Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy now out in paperback. She argues that our attention is the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. Using the lenses of art, philosophy, literature, historical events, and science, Odell challenges readers to take a deeper look at the forces vying for attention and how we respond. We'll also take calls from our listeners about productivity, the pressure to appear busy and productive, and their views on doing "nothing."
