Drawing on themes from her bestselling 2019 book “How to Do Nothing,” author Jenny Odell will examine anxieties about our ability to focus and the way that the issue is often emptied of social, political, and spiritual content. Odell will discuss how modern advice regarding the practice of attention can often be inadequate because it misses the role of purpose, commitment, and love. The talk will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. Free and open to the public.
