  • Culture of Split Focus--Wow! Everything is speeding-up and we feel it in everything we do. What happens to the fragmented mind--has feeling taken a back seat to rationality? Can we still learn deeply? Can rationality keep up with feeling? Can fragmentation be converted into integration, and integration into rapid change? Or have we just turned ourselves into an ADHD, or dissociated, or worse yet, an autistic society? I suppose this book makes a diagnosis and posits a remedy!
