Description

Misplaced attention fuels frustration, fear, and sadness. Most men underestimate how much power they give away when they let the news and social media dictate their attention.

Highlights:

  • Why misplaced attention drains productivity and sleep
  • How headlines turn conversations pessimistic and repetitive
  • The hidden impact on parenting decisions and family life
  • The simple practice that reveals what’s really underneath the anger

Takeaways:

  • Your attention is your power—choose where it goes.
  • Guard against the pull of headlines, comments, and opinions.
  • Put focus back on what you can control: health, family, and work.

What would shift if you pulled your attention away from the noise and put it back where it matters?
