Cody Cook-Parrott: Attention is a Creative Act
About this episode
Tami Simon speaks with Cody Cook-Parrott about reclaiming attention and its impact on creativity.
What happens to your creativity when your attention is fractured—and what becomes possible when you reclaim it? Tami Simon speaks with writer, artist, and movement practitioner Cody Cook-Parrott about their new Sounds True book, The Practice of Attention: Cultivating Presence in a Distracted World —exploring social media addiction, the art of the attention audit, soft structures for creative practice, and why attention itself is a form of prayer. This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together.
