Your reflections highlight the weight of her challenge: to resist equating productivity with progress and reclaim attention as a resource we can consciously invest. I love how you explore the tension between economic fear and the liberating possibilities of presence—it’s a poignant reminder to pause, recontextualize, and truly see the world around us. Thank you for sharing your “thinky” self’s journey with this book!
