I certainly don't want it to feel like some kind of like test of your attentional capabilities at all.

Because frankly, all of the work that I do comes from my own journey with attention.

It doesn't matter how much expertise I have.

It doesn't matter how much I study this.

The notion of having a crisis of attention or feeling scattered every now and then is part of the human experience.

So please don't feel that.

Oh yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

With no promise that you're going to necessarily be less scattered, but through the journey of what we'll talk about, hopefully come to an understanding that as we become more intimately familiar and friendlier with our own mind, we treat that scatter differently.

Absolutely.

So the one thing I will say is that your attention is an extremely powerful capacity that you hold.

But it's incredibly fragile.

It's going to fall apart every now and then.

It's going to be scattered.

The very hopeful news, and we'll talk about how to do this, is that it is trainable.

We can train our attention to be stronger and function better.

And this isn't just some abstract thing that we wanna be able to do.

We do this because we wanna not only have a peak mind, but we wanna have a fulfilling life.

We wanna befriend our own mind for the service of enjoying our life and making sure that what we do is meaningful to us.

So the path there is what we'll be talking about during our time together.
