“The most scarce resource in the world today is attention” – Yuval Noah Harari
The only 2 industries that refer to customers as “users” are Big Tech and drug cartels.
We live in an increasingly technology-fuelled Garden of Eden – an attention economy where the most sophisticated dark forces are constantly, covertly intent at work to distract you.
If time is your most precious asset as a leader, then saving and spending it wisely becomes paramount.
Your old biological defences are hardly sea-worthy any longer and in this age of fierce clandestine competition for your attention, you’re gonna need a bigger boat (or at least a better way to navigate!) to stay afloat.
Insights include:
-What happens when ancient human biology collides with 21st century technology
-Living in a state of Continuous Partial Attention
-The recipe for Deep Work
-Navigating the Struggle phase towards a state of Flow
-Why Multi-Tasking is a myth
-The 2 Fundamentals to combat Distraction
