The Intricacies of Attention and the Value of Leisure

This episode features Oakland-based artist and writer Jenny Odell, as she discusses her debut book "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy".

Jenny examines how, by paying a new kind of attention - our most precious and overdrawn resource - we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress.
