Danny Kenny describes the attention crisis today that previous generations never had to navigate, calling it “continuous partial attention.” We’re always on, but never fully focused, just perpetually scattered, he says.

Kenny continues to explain attention as a trainable system, sharing how your attention can be strengthened, directed and optimized for the outcomes you want most.
