A deeply personal invitation to reclaim your focus as a radical act of self-care and creative resistance

When our attention splinters, so do we....It is not an exaggeration to say this book will save your life. It saved mine.--Holly Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman

It's no secret that our attention is fractured. We look for distraction anytime we have a spare moment or feel bored or uncomfortable. We yearn to be fully immersed in the moment―whether for deep work or pleasure―but we have almost forgotten how. In The Practice of Attention, beloved artist and teacher Cody Cook-Parrott offers a vulnerable exploration of how they overcame social media and technology addiction, sharing their road map for reclaiming the most precious of resources: our time.

For Cody, digital distractions shared parallels with alcohol and other addictions--trying to escape painful parts of life through dopamine hits and other highs. Social media use enabled workaholism and distraction from real life and tough choices. After working through the practices in this book, Cody permanently deleted their Instagram account, which had over 80,000 followers, so they are now free of the comparison, the doom scrolling, and the constant back and forth. But you don't have to delete social media to benefit from the suggestions in this book! With a focus on the art of presence rather than the science of productivity, Cody encourages you to:

- Investigate what you're avoiding and who benefits when you distract yourself
