Jenny Odell on How to Do Nothing | Offline Podcast
Показать описание
This week, Jenny Odell teaches Jon Favreau how to unplug and, almost literally, smell the roses. Pulling from lessons outlined in her book “How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy,” Jenny makes the case that our attention is precious and what we choose to focus it on doesn’t always need to be productive.
00:00 - Intro
00:59 - Beginning of interview
01:38 - How the 2016 election influenced her work
04:17 - What it means to “do nothing”
10:30 - Eliminating boredom: iPhone vs. loupe
16:29 - Our addiction to updates
19:05 - Connectivity & sensitivity
31:19 - How to resist the attention economy
Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
