Author
Jenny Odell
Jenny Odell is the Books For author to start with when “doing more” has stopped feeling like a solution and attention itself needs defending.
Why this author appears on Books For People Who
Odell appears where burnout, social media fatigue and attention overlap. Her work is not anti-effort; it is anti-extraction. On this site, How to Do Nothing is a counterweight to productivity culture, doomscrolling and the feeling that every minute has to prove its usefulness.
