How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell

5.0

---

This is not just another self-help book telling you to put down your phone. Instead, it’s an activist manifesto rooted in embodied experiences of proximity—through birdwatching/listening, artistic creation, and activism—offering a critical reflection on the many inequalities of the Anthropocene and the actions needed to dismantle them.
And oh, this book reminds me that back in early 2021, I lived next to a rose garden.
