Freely given, gentle attention is the most powerful expression of love, and every living being responds to it. What you direct your attention toward, you enliven, nourish, and encourage to thrive. Unfortunately, we live in a culture of competing interests and distractions. Unless we regain control of how and to whom we direct this powerful currency, our connection with the people and causes we care most deeply about will continue to suffer.

When you're in command of your attention, you are attuned to the field of love underlying the energy of the universe. As you become practiced in the art of training your attention, and connecting with the source of it, you reclaim the power to purposefully live your life, frame by frame, as each new moment unfolds. You no longer experience life as something that is happening to you; instead, life is happening for you.

The Power of Attention will teach you how to direct your attention toward those aspects of yourself and your life that you most want to flourish, expand, and thrive. Each chapter offers modern practical ways of applying the timeless practices of meditation and mindfulness. You'll learn to become more intimately connected to yourself, to honor your feelings and desires, and to express your unique talents and gifts in the world.
