eve_primeHow to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, by Jenny Odell. This is a stellar book! The author, who is an artist, writes about one of my favorite topics, how we can manage our attention, from perspectives very different from mine. Yet she talks about two of my favorite books - Buber's I and Thou and Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass. And she lives in the East Bay, where I lived for 11 years, and loves the Rose Garden. So I had a lot of fun reading it!

I've seen the author do three talks now - two in person and then this year's was online. She's so great. Here's the online talk, if you're looking for something to do while you recover. One caution - they spend a LOT of time introducing her. I think she actually starts 27 minutes in, and I would skip ahead to that:
