“The relative ease of most driving lures us into thinking we can get away with doing other things. Indeed, those other things, like listening to the radio, can help when driving itself is threatening to cause fatigue. But we buy into the myth of multitasking with little actual knowledge of how much we can really add in or, as with the television news, how much we are missing. As the inner life of the driver begins to come into focus, it is becoming clear not only that distraction is the single biggest problem on the road but that we have little concept of just how distracted we are.” ThinkingLittlesHelpingProblemCausesClearFocusMissingTelevisionListeningBecomingNewsConceptsAddRadioMythDrivingEaseGet AwayDriversDistractionRelativeThreateningFatigueDistractedInner LifeLureMultitaskingMulti TaskingTelevision News Author:Tom Vanderbilt

“Whatever happens, whatever you experience, feel, think, do - it's always now. It's all there is. And if you continuously miss the now - resist it, dislike it, try to get away from it, reduce it to a means to an end, then you miss the essence of your life, and you are stuck in a dream world of images, concepts, labels, interpretations, judgments - the conditioned content of your mind that you take to be yourself.” IfsThinkingWorldFeelsTryingMindMeanEndsDreamHappensMissingJudgmentConceptsEssenceStuckLabelsBeing YourselfGet AwayInterpretationDislikeWhatever HappensDream WorldMeans To An End Author:Eckhart Tolle
