The Secret Economy of Attention
Leigh Rivers
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In today’s world, money isn’t the most valuable resource—attention is. Every scroll, every click, every second of focus has been turned into profit for someone else. Behind the screens, tech giants, advertisers, and algorithms are waging silent wars to capture and monetize the one thing you can never get back: your attention.
The Secret Economy of Attention uncovers how focus quietly became the new currency of power, wealth, and control. Drawing from psychology, economics, and real-world trends, this book reveals the hidden marketplace where your time and concentration are being bought and sold—and how you can reclaim them.
Inside, you’ll discover:
How companies engineer distraction and dependency by design
Why attention has become more scarce than money in the digital age
The link between fractured focus, stress, and lost productivity
Practical strategies to protect your attention and spend it wisely
How to thrive in a world where focus is the ultimate advantage
This isn’t just about fighting distraction—it’s about understanding the new rules of the attention economy and learning how to win within it.
If you’ve ever felt like your focus is slipping away—or that your life is being lived on someone else’s terms—this book will show you how to take back control.
