🐝 the tender economics of loving your work

Hello and thanks for listening to this audio version of my email newsletter  ⋆⭒˚。⋆  ⠀This week, I started shipping my new book, Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social Media, to readers around the world.Even though I have lots of practice sharing my work in public, it felt really tender for this book to break free of its cocoon and fly to other homes.I was both elated to share it and afraid of it being out there.

👷‍♀️ your mind is the pipeline

Hello and thanks for listening to this audio version of my email newsletter  ⋆⭒˚。⋆  ⠀Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social Media will be here in 20 days! And one of the joys of getting closer to the publication date is that I'm starting to have conversations about the book with podcasters who are generous enough to have me on their shows to spread the word. I love having these conversations, because they help me find new ideas, examples, and ways of thinking about the work that I would never arrive at without the magic of our minds coming together. Today I want to tell you about a really good example that came up on two different calls this week. It's not in the book, but it's a great ‘aha’ moment for anyone rethinking attention and social media.  (I think I heard a version of it here first).Share this post here: https://www.ameliahruby.com/blog/mind-pipeline   Get on the waitlist for my book here: https://amelia.myflodesk.com/book    Sign up for my mailing list here: https://amelia.myflodesk.com/ ✨ Amelia Hruby is a feminist writer, podcaster and producer with a PhD in philosophy from DePaul University.

💀 the ego-death of the author

Hello and thanks for listening to this audio version of my email newsletter  ⋆⭒˚。⋆  ⠀A few months ago, I was feeling some kind of way about my book, and I found myself googling “ego death."Wikipedia informed me that the term came from the realms of Buddhism, mysticism, Jungian psychology, New Age spirituality, and psychedelic drugs. It meant something like “complete loss of subjective self-identity" or "transcendence of the self."And that felt… fine. But not quite right. 🫠Read & share this post here: https://www.ameliahruby.com/blog/ego-death-of-the-authorGet on the waitlist for my book here: https://amelia.myflodesk.com/book  Sign up for my mailing list here: https://amelia.myflodesk.com/   ✨ Amelia Hruby is a feminist writer, podcaster and producer with a PhD in philosophy from DePaul University.

👀 did i mention i'm writing a book?

Hello and thanks for listening to this audio version of my email newsletter  ⋆⭒˚。⋆  ⠀Last week, I spent an afternoon on the phone with a dear friend I've known since high school. She's been one of my biggest cheerleaders for a decade, and she always reads my newsletters and checks in on what I write.⠀I started telling her about how busy my fall schedule was getting as I prepared for my book launch.
