We’re experiencing a worldwide crisis of attention in which information overwhelms us, corrodes true communion with others, and leaves us anxious, unsettled, bored, isolated, and lonely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pages provide the time-tested antidote that enables you to regain an ordered and peaceful mind in a technologically advanced world. Drawing on the wisdom of the world’s greatest thinkers, including Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Aquinas, these pages help you identify – and show you how to cultivate – the qualities of character you need to survive in our media-saturated environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a calm, measured, yet forthright and effective approach to regaining interior peace. Here you’ll find no argument for retreat from the modern world; instead these pages provide you with a practical guide to recovering self-mastery and interior peace through wise choices and ordered activity in the midst of the world’s communication chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you increasingly frustrated and perplexed in this digital age? Do you yearn for a mind that is more focused and a soul able to put down that IPhone and simply rejoice in the good and the true? It’s not hard to do. The saints and the wise can show you how; this book makes their counsel available to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gb-container gb-container-a0127fd4 woo-endorsements-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gb-inside-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-d3e5fdc6 gb-headline-text cam-description-heading\"\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsement-repeater-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsement-repeater-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsement-column-right\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"endorsement-text\"\u003eIn an age besotted with what Pascal would have called “distraction” (\u003ci\u003edivertissement\u003c\/i\u003e), Messrs.
