The Fine Art of Talking To Yourself (Conversation #5)

Conversation #5: Attention – The Art of Directing Your Mind

● Discover how attention shapes your perception, emotions, and actions
● Learn why attention is both your most powerful resource and your most fragile one
● Understand the neuroscience of attention plasticity — and how to train it
● Practice simple ways to regain focus, clarity, and inner calm in a distracted world

Join Scorselo, coach-psychologist (scorselo.com), and Khirug, coach-neuroscientist (triunitymethod.com), for the fifth event in The Fine Art of Talking to Yourself series.

This time, we turn to Attention — the silent force that determines what becomes real for you. Everything you experience, believe, and feel depends on what you attend to and how flexible your attention can be.

• How attention filters reality and sculpts your inner world
• Why modern life overstimulates the brain and weakens sustained focus
• What neuroscience reveals about attention plasticity — your ability to shift and widen awareness
• How to use micro-practices to balance focus, presence, and mental rest

We live in an age of constant distraction. Our attention is pulled outward, fragmented by notifications, noise, and information overload. Yet attention is not a fixed trait — it’s a trainable skill.

This evening helps you understand how attention works, what hijacks it, and how to cultivate deliberate, embodied presence. You’ll learn to use your attention not only to think more clearly but also to feel more deeply and live more intentionally.

Prior to the event, all participants are invited to take part anonymously in a short ArtOfThinking.ai voice reflection exercise before the event. Using the invitation code NLE0OXIZ after logging in with you gmail at https://artofthinking.ai, you’ll be able to record a one-minute spontaneous reflection on your current state of attention — no preparation needed.

Your anonymous reflections will be synthesized by AI and shared during the event as a collective mirror of how we perceive and manage attention in modern life. This is an entirely optional but insightful way to experience how technology can deepen human self-awareness.

● Socratic-style discussion — clear, relatable insights from psychology and neuroscience
● Hands-on participation — short experiential practices and group reflection
● Small group setting — limited to 40 participants for a personal, interactive atmosphere
