Unbox!  (English, Paperback, Prithvi Raj Banerjee)

In the modern age of fragmented attention that feeds off fifteen-second news cycles, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter alerts, we are all trying our best to focus our attention. However, most of us cannot because we were never taught how to.We have been asked to pay attention all the time, but very few of us were shown how we could improve ours. It all started thousands of years ago when folks had the time and patience to devise cool techniques to make attention unfragmented. Thankfully many of these techniques are as applicable today as they were then. 'Unbox!' is a practical guide that stays away from philosophical and metaphysical narratives about mindfulness and focuses on how to deal with distracting thoughts that fragment our attention. It uses 'mind-exercises' to help us improve our attention as we build the skill of Mindful Thinking leading to more efficient and impactful actions. The exercises listed in the book are contemporary translations of some the most effective mindfulness techniques across ages. The book uses modern metaphors & humorous illustrations that readers, will find appealing. It also demystifies these techniques and explores the logic behind the exercises.
