We look for distraction anytime we have a spare moment or feel bored or uncomfortable. We yearn to be fully immersed in the moment — whether for deep work or pleasure — but we have almost forgotten how. In \u003cem\u003eThe Practice of Attention\u003c\/em\u003e, beloved artist and teacher Cody Cook-Parrott offers a vulnerable exploration of how they overcame social media and technology addiction, sharing their \"road map for reclaiming the most precious of resources: our time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Cody, digital distractions shared parallels with alcohol and other addictions — trying to escape painful parts of life through dopamine hits and other highs. Social media use enabled workaholism and distraction from real life and tough choices. After working through the practices in this book, Cody permanently deleted their Instagram account, which had over 80,000 followers, so they are now \"free of the comparison, the doom scrolling, and the constant back and forth.\" But you don't have to delete social media to benefit from the suggestions in this book!
