Attention Seeking by Adam Phillips (English) Paperback Book

Description: Attention Seeking by Adam Phillips "Originally published in 2019 by Penguin Books, Great Britain"--Title page verso. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Attention Seeking is a short, fascinating introduction to the concept of attention from Britains leading psychoanalyst, author of Missing Out and On Kindness. Everything depends on what, if anything, we find interesting: on what we are encouraged and educated to find interesting, and what we find ourselves being interested in despite ourselves. There is our official curiosity and our unofficial curiosity (and psychoanalysis is a story about the relationship between the two). Based on three connected lectures by Adam Phillips, this compact book is a lucid and memorable introduction to the concept of our attention, spanning from interest to obsession, private desire to corporate commodity. What is attention, and why do we seek it? How does our culture moralize attention as a force in need of control? Phillips is one of our brightest and most unusual thinkers, uniquely capable of bringing our deepest impulses and instincts to light.
