Summary

This episode examines the attention we surrender to screens, busyness, and distraction. Eric Pickersgill’s phone-free photographs reveal how strange our habits can look when the device disappears, while Seneca warns that constant bustle is often just a restless mind in motion. The question isn't whether modern life demands our attention, but whether we're choosing where it goes. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Let Us Cherish Old Age https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-let-us-cherish Hosted on Acast.
