A placebo is "a substance that has no therapeutic effect." It's a "measure designed merely to calm or please someone," and yet it's surprisingly effective. The truth is we use placebos in everyday life, whether we realize it or not. The trick is to recognize them, to take full advantage of their mysterious power, but also to see when we they've become a crutch. 
Will power is overrated. Take your placebos.

Take Your Placebos

An Attention Collection is the place we gather our noticings, so-to-speak; our collection of eaves droppings, of movie quotes, songs, and stories. This is where we store our poetry and dad jokes, the sacred texts and obscenities we've acquired along the way. All this stuff is part of the soup that is our life. These are the things that make us who we are, they remind us what we’d like to be less of, and they give us hope for who we might become.

This podcast is dedicated to helping people notice their noticings, cultivate wonder, and generously share their findings. Hosted by Anthony Garcia
