Really enjoyed the focus on nature, community, and questioning the idea of productivity. Well-written political essays about the attention economy wrapped into a self-help book

I will start off by saying that I don't think I am the target audience for this book. I found it a bit pretentious, enough so that it took me a while to get through the book. I feel like I may have picked up a few things to reflect on, but they were wrapped up in flowery language, quotes from other people, and so many bird names.

I’ve found my new fixation. This book reads like the perfect manifesto for me.
