Navigating Attention: The Peak Mind Concept
This chapter explores the idea of a 'peak mind' that balances action and reflection, using bird analogies to emphasize the dynamics of being versus doing. It discusses three modes of attention—flashlight, floodlight, and juggler—illustrating how they interact with our executive functions and prioritization of goals. Additionally, the chapter highlights the impact of modern distractions on attention and the role of algorithms in shaping our focus, suggesting that attention is not flawed but responds to external triggers.
