The Value of Attention as Capital

Attention is highlighted as a crucial form of capital alongside time, money, and energy. Unlike time, which can be shared but not fully engaged with, attention is fleeting and cannot be stored, making it uniquely valuable in human interactions. The ability to actively engage with someone through attention enhances the quality of relationships, demonstrating that simply spending time together does not equate to genuine connection. This perspective shift illuminates the deeper significance of attention in financial planning and personal relationships, emphasizing the need for alignment between how we use our resources and what truly matters.
