The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction by Matthew B. Crawford, 2015

We often complain about our fractured mental lives and feel beset by outside forces that destroy our focus and disrupt our peace of mind. Any defense against this, Crawford argues, requires that we reckon with the way attention sculpts the self.

Aurora Dome Sky

The image was captured on May 10 during early morning hours from Arlington, Wisconsin, USA. The panorama is a composite of several 6-second exposures covering two thirds of the visible sky, with north in the center, and processed to heighten the colors and remove electrical wires. The photographer (in the foreground) reported that the aurora appeared to flow from a point overhead but illuminated the sky only toward the north.

“Forced displacement is a grave crime that is negatively impacting the lives of over a million civilians, most of whom are women and children. As it is being carried out methodically and extensively, it is considered a crime against humanity and a war crime, and is included in the crime of genocide that Israel is committing in the Gaza Strip.”

“We saw a red light flash and everything collapsed on our head. Everyone at home – my sister, grandmother and mother – were buried under the rubble of a multistorey building.”

“I remained under the rubble for four hours as I heard footsteps on top, trying to pull us out and I kept screaming and crying. I was almost breathless with pieces of cement and dust on my mouth and face."

homes in contravention of international law.

"In my darkest hours, what has saved me again and again is some action of unselfing — some instinctive wakefulness to an aspect of the world other than myself: a helping hand extended to someone else’s struggle, the dazzling galaxy just discovered millions of lightyears away, the cardinal trembling in the tree outside my window."
