Distraction
Most of us struggle with distraction every day: the familiar feeling that our attention is not quite where it should be.We feel it at work and at home and it can be frustrating and uncomfortable.But what is distraction? In his lucid, timely book, Damon Young shows that distraction is more than too many stimuli, or too little attention.It is actually a matter of value - to be distracted is to be torn away from what is worthwhile in life. And for Young, what is most worthwhile is freedom: not simply rights or legal liberties, but the capacity to patiently, creatively craft one's own life.Exploring the lives of such luminaries as Henri Matisse, Karl Marx, Seneca and Henry James, Young exposes distraction in work, technology, art, politics and intimacy.With warmth and wit, he reveals what is most valuable, and what is best avoided, in the pursuit of a life of one's own.

Thoreau's Axe : Distraction and Discipline in American Culture
How nineteenth-century “disciplines of attention” anticipated the contemporary concern with mindfulness and being “spiritual but not religious”Today, we’re driven to distraction, our attention overwhelmed by the many demands upon it—most of which emanate from our beeping and blinking digital devices.This may seem like a decidedly twenty-first-century problem, but, as Caleb Smith shows in this elegantly written, meditative work, distraction was also a serious concern in American culture two centuries ago.In Thoreau’s Axe, Smith explores the strange, beautiful archives of the nineteenth-century attention revival—from a Protestant minister’s warning against frivolous thoughts to Thoreau’s reflections on wakefulness at Walden Pond.Smith examines how Americans came to embrace attention, mindfulness, and other ways of being “spiritual but not religious,” and how older Christian ideas about temptation and spiritual devotion endure in our modern ideas about distraction and attention. Smith explains that nineteenth-century worries over attention developed in response to what were seen as the damaging mental effects of new technologies and economic systems.A “wandering mind,” once diagnosed, was in need of therapy or rehabilitation.Modeling his text after nineteenth-century books of devotion, Smith offers close readings of twenty-eight short passages about attention.Considering social reformers who designed moral training for the masses, religious leaders who organized Christian revivals, and spiritual seekers like Thoreau who experimented with regimens of simplified living and transcendental mysticism, Smith shows how disciplines of attention became the spiritual exercises of a distracted age.

The Point of Distraction
A memoir by the 2019 Wellcome Prize winner Will Eaves that looks at the creation of eight piano pieces. 'A wonderfully sensitive and probing meditation on the writing of words and music' Rolf Hind, composer and pianist What lies behind the creation of a piece of music?Does it spring fully formed from a composer’s mind, or take shape in the recesses of the brain, revealing itself in stages over time?Is the creative act deliberate or happenstance? An inspired vision or the result of practice? Will Eaves, author and musician, shares his experience of writing eight new piano pieces after many years away from the keyboard.Some of the music is found in old notebooks and teenage enthusiasms, some of it is caught on the wing – a response to the resurgence of the natural world during COVID lockdown.None of it is what he is meant to be doing. But then not all artistic interests are primary or professional interests.Sometimes it’s the second-string activities, the diversions, that bring work – and life – into focus. The Point of Distraction is a unique account of music-making that embraces Bach, film, jazz, literature, neuroscience and the mystery of will power in its search for meaning.At its heart is a love of skill, an openness to self-doubt, and a belief that we are all more than our declared aims.
