Simone Weil - Attention

In this episode Barry and Mike discuss the French Christian mystic Simone Weil and her focus on attention and its role in the “right way” of doing things. This discussion picks up on the previous episode with Byung Chul Han regarding distraction and multi-tasking.  Though this chat functions as a stand-alone discussion, In some ways this is a continuation of that previous discussion.  If you’ve not done so, you may want to listen to the previous episode first.  Either way, we hope you enjoy! 

As always, please feel free to leave us comments or questions.  We love to hear from you!
