Review
"This warm and witty book does something wonderful: it brings the great ideas of philosophy into our lives. Young is a bright new voice." - John Armstrong, author of Love, Life, Goethe: How to be Happy in an Imperfect World
Product Description
In Distraction, the philosopher Damon Young argues that distraction is not simply too many stimuli but a confusion about what to attend to and why. If we are “dying already," as Heidegger cheerily put it, then we only have so many days to invest. To commit to this job, this spouse, this leisure, this gadget means taking time, energy and wherewithal away from other possibilities. In an age of innumerable, intense diversions, we need to be clearer than ever about what is important.
