can make a circumstantial case: She includes “nyt” in her Twitter handle, and the Times maintains a social media desk that helps educate its employees about how to use social media (c.f. https://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/new-york-times-social-media-desk_b53783 ), a focus that has led to more than eight hundred employees tweeting: https://twitter.com/nytimes/nyt-journalists/members. Here is an example of one of Alissa Rubin’s articles that I encountered when writing this chapter: Rubin, Alissa J., and Maïa de la Baume, “Claims of French Complicity in Rwanda’s Genocide Rekindle Mutual Resentment.” New York Times , April 8, 2014. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/09/world/africa/claims-of-french-complicityin-rwandas-genocide-rekindle-mutual-resentment.html?ref=alissajohannsenrubin. Postman, Neil. Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology. New York: Vintage Books, 1993. “It does not make them illegal”: Ibid., 48. “It’s this propensity to view ‘the Internet’ as a source of wisdom” : from page 25 of Morozov, Evgeny. To Save Everything, Click Here. New York: Public Affairs, 2013.
Chapter 3 “I do all my work by hand”: from Ric Furrer’s artist statement, which can be found online, along with general biographical details on Furrer and information about his business: http://www.doorcountyforgeworks.com. “This part, the initial breakdown”; “You have to be very gentle” ; “It’s ready”; and “To do it right, it is the most complicated thing”: from the PBS documentary “Secrets of the Viking Swords,” which is an episode of NOVA that first aired on September 25, 2013. For more information on the episode and online streaming see: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/secrets-viking-sword.html. “The satisfactions of manifesting oneself concretely”: from page 15 of Crawford, Shop Class as Soulcraft. “The world of information superhighways”: from Ric Furrer’s artist statement: http://www.doorcountyforgeworks.com. A Neurological Argument for Depth “not just cancer”; “This disease wanted to”; and “movies, walks”: from page 3 of Gallagher, Winifred. Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life. New York, Penguin, 2009. “Like fingers pointing to the moon”: Ibid., 2. “Who you are”: Ibid., 1. “reset button”: Ibid., 48. “Rather than continuing to focus”: Ibid., 49. Though Rapt provides a good summary of Barbara Fredrickson’s research on positivity (see pages 48–49), more details can be found in Fredrickson’s 2009 book on the topic: Frederickson, Barbara. Positivity: Groundbreaking Research Reveals How to Embrace the Hidden Strength of Positive Emotions, Overcome Negativity, and Thrive. New York: Crown Archetype, 2009. The Laura Carstensen research was featured in Rapt (see pages 50–51). For more information, see the following article: Carstensen, Laura L., and Joseph A. Mikels. “At the Intersection of Emotion and Cognition: Aging and the Positivity Effect.” Current Directions in Psychological Science 14.3 (2005): 117–121. “concentration so intense”: from page 71 of Csikszentmihalyi, Mihaly.

You can also find a short summary of the technique at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_sampling_method. “The best moments usually occur”: from page 3 of Csikszentmihalyi, Flow. “Ironically, jobs are actually easier to enjoy”: Ibid., 162. “jobs should be redesigned”: Ibid., 157.
