About Distracted: Finding Focus in a Hyperkinetic World

We are more networked than ever, yet we communicate even with our most intimate friends and family via instant messaging, e-mail, and fleeting face-to-face moments that are punctuated with electronic interruptions and a lack of focus. In this new world, something crucial is missing-attention. Attention is the key to recapturing our ability to reconnect, reflect, and relax-the secret to coping with a mobile, multitasking, virtual world that isn't going to slow down or get simpler. Attention can keep us grounded and focused-not diffused and fragmented.
