Consider what technology is doing to your life, without your consent -- Pay attention, even when it hurts -- Tune into politics, and get involved, so you can respond to what's really being said -- Practice an art, and let it change the way you see -- Ask for more from your education by asking for more from yourself, before and after graduation -- Practice a self-reliant, hands-on life, which means asking what you really need and want in the place you really are.
Summary:
"Stressed out? Swimming in a sea of screens? Worried about our beloved, endangered earth yet uncertain how to work for change? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. In this intelligent guide to mindfulness in the digital age, writer and teacher Amy Weldon describes how practicing life as an artist can help you wake yourself up and take back control of your attention, your money, your time, and the health of our society and our planet. Traveling from farm to protest march to classroom, and engaging a range of thinkers from Hannah Arendt to George Orwell, John Keats, and Henry David Thoreau, The Hands-On Life is a book for students and for everyone who dreams of building a better world."-- Provided by publisher, page 4 of cover
