Description
Cultivate Deep Attention in a Distracted World
In an age of endless notifications and fractured focus, Aimee Joseph offers a profound exploration of how to cultivate meaningful attention in a world designed for distraction. Look, Listen, Live presents three transformative pathways – presence, beauty, and even pain – that can help us develop deeper attention to God and others.
Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, and personal experience, Joseph shows how our capacity for attention directly shapes our relationship with God and our ability to love others well. She demonstrates that attention is not just about focus and productivity, but about worship and relationship. Through practical guidance and theological insight, readers will learn how to:
- Move from scattered distraction to focused devotion
- Use beauty as a pathway to deeper spiritual attention
- Find meaning and growth through suffering
- Develop habits that nurture sustained attention
- Practice presence in an age of constant interruption
Written with pastoral warmth and scholarly depth, this timely book offers hope and practical help for anyone struggling to stay present in our distracted age. Joseph shows that by cultivating holy attention, we can experience more of God’s presence and become more present to others in life–giving ways.
Perfect for: Christians seeking deeper spiritual formation, church leaders, and anyone feeling scattered by technology and modern life’s endless distractions.

It opened my eyes to how often I rush past what matters—reminding me to slow down, be present, and fix my eyes on the Lord. In a world of constant distractions, this book will help you stay awake to beauty, anchored in presence, and attentive to God’s grace in suffering.

Distraction and inattention hound us every day and hinder us from noticing and meditating on truth, goodness, and beauty--the very things that point us to God. That's why I'm so thankful for this book. Aimee Joseph exhorts us with love and wisdom to stop and pay attention to what truly matters and, even better, she tells us how.
