Saint Ambrose Prep is a place where the wealthy send their children for the best possible education, with teachers and administrators from the Ivy League, and graduates who become future lawyers, politicians, filmmakers, and CEOs.

Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book ReviewOne of President Barack Obama's 'Favorite Books of 2019' Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the YearIn a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious and overdrawn resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, 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. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism.

It s about getting only the right things done.Featuring the new Essentialism 21-Day Challenge A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked. Adam GrantHave you ever: found yourself stretched too thin simultaneously felt overworked and underutilized felt busy but not productive felt like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people s agendas If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is theWay of the Essentialist.Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is asystematic disciplinefor discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.Essentialism is not one more thing it s a whole new way of doing everything. It s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \*\* A New York Times Bestseller \*\*NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time The New Yorker NPR GQ Elle Vulture Fortune Boing Boing The Irish Times The New York Public Library The Brooklyn Public Library 'A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto.' Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book ReviewOne of President Barack Obama's 'Favorite Books of 2019' Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the YearIn a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious and overdrawn resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, 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. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.
