A Hidden Life in the Attention Economy (Justine Toh)

Justine Toh is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) and a writer whose work appears regularly in The Guardian. In this conversation, Will and Justine explore the crisis of attention in our digital age — what we lose when our attention is fragmented, what it costs to reclaim it, and if the concept of 'a hidden life' might help us. This conversation doesn't offer simple answers, but genuine wrestling with how to live consciously within the systems we're part of.Articles referenced:Justine Toh, "As the year begins, don't look away from the headlines, look better and deeper" — The GuardianJustine Toh, "A hidden life in the era of social media can still change history, as the story of Jesus shows" — The GuardianJustine Toh, "The world is burning.
