The Grand Power Of Attention
3 min readFeb 21, 2022
“Attention is not just another ‘cognitive function’: it is. . .the disposition adopted by one’s consciousness towards the world. Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, [attention] has the power to alter whatever it meets. . .So how you attend to something — or don’t attend to it — matters a very great deal.”
Iain McGilchrist
