The book

The Abundance Paradox

Abundance was supposed to free us. Much of it learned to hold us instead. This is the longer argument under the app: why your attention became the most contested thing you own, and the small repeatable practice that returns it.

The Abundance Paradox, book cover
What it argues

It would rather be right than loud

The book makes a careful case that focus is shaped as much by the rooms we live in as by our willpower, and that a few honest movements, repeated, can return what the noise has been taking. It does not sell a miracle or a quick fix.

Inside

What the book gives you

A clear account of the attention problem and the four movements of the Coherence Cycle in depth. It is more than a book to read. A companion guide for each chapter turns the reading into a reflection that supports your focus, and a quiet space invites you to draw out your own reflections and wonderings as you go.

Our standard

We cite real research and hedge where the research is mixed

Where the evidence is strong, we say so. Where it is mixed, we hedge: the evidence suggests, rather than proves, that the room you sit in does much of the work. We would rather say less and be right than say more and be loud.
