In his bestselling book Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford explored the ethical and practical importance of manual competence, as expressed through mastery of our physical environment. In his brilliant follow-up, The World Beyond Your Head, Crawford investigates the challenge of mastering one's own mind. We often complain about our fractured mental lives and feel beset by outside forces that destroy our focus and disrupt our peace of mind. Any defense against this, Crawford argues, requires that we reckon with the way attention sculpts the self. Crawford investigates the intense focus of ice hockey players and short-order chefs, the quasi-autistic behavior of gambling addicts, the familiar hassles of daily life, and the deep, slow craft of building pipe organs. He shows that our current crisis of attention is only superficially the result of digital technology, and becomes more comprehensible when understood as the coming to fruition of certain assumptions at the root of Western culture that are profoundly at odds with human nature. The World Beyond Your Head makes sense of an astonishing array of common experience, from the frustrations of airport security to the rise of the hipster. With implications for the way we raise our children, the design of public spaces, and democracy itself, this is a book of urgent relevance to contemporary life.

Most people come to Comfort Bay, Oregon, in search of a little peace and quiet. But neither is on the agenda for undercover operative Ezra Moore. He's got ten days to unload a shipment of illegal weapons--and take down Spectra IT, the international crime syndicate he's managed to infiltrate. He knows Spectra's man , Warren Aceveda, is playing dirty pool, and if he's going to beat him and stay alive, he's got to play even dirtier. But even the best-laid crimes can blow up in your face, and Ezra is about to find out just how badly. Alexa Counsel likes her calm, and OK, sometimes boring life in Comfort Bay. But there's nothing boring about the hot new handyman who's just started working at the local Bed and Breakfast. Great with his hands? Oh yes. But there's something much deeper running beneath those still waters. Something she's not sure she understands or she can trust. No one is going to use her as a cover, no matter how irresistible he may be. But Ezra is the only man who's ever made her feel like a real woman, and she's already in way too deep to turn back now. Playing cat and mouse with one of the world's fiercest criminals, Alexa and Ezra are about to find out just how dangerous and delicious starting a new life--and finding a new love--can be.
