Distraction isn't a new problem. We're also not the first to complain about how hard it is to concentrate. Early Christian monks beat us to it. They had given up everything to focus on God, yet they still struggled to keep the demons of distraction at bay. But rather than surrender to the meandering of their minds, they developed powerful strategies to improve their attention and engagement. How to Focus is an inviting collection of their strikingly relatable insights and advice—frank, funny, sympathetic, and psychologically sophisticated.

You are working harder than ever, so why are you still broke?Welcome to BELOW MINIMUM, the podcast that exposes the economics of exploitation in the Philippines. Hosted by Cassian, we look past the "hustle culture" propaganda to show you exactly how the ruling class extracts your youth and labor to build their empires. From the reality of contractualization to the corporate hijacking of public transport, we dissect a system designed to keep the working class in permanent survival mode. The elite give us below the minimum; it’s time we demand the absolute maximum.
