About Lights On with Mitra Manesh
What would happen if a book could speak — and you could speak back? The Attentionist podcast brings the words of the book The Attentionist to life — one passage, one conversation, one moment of awareness at a time. In each episode, host Mitra Manesh and her co-host Carlota Santamaria read and explore a section of the book as it relates to the texture of everyday life — the choices we make, the patterns we repeat, the moments where attention either slips away or comes home. Sometimes a reader joins the conversation as a guest — invited or self-selected — bringing their own experience of the words into the room. The result is not a book review. It is a living dialogue between a teaching and the people it is teaching. The Attentionist asks one question: what is your attention creating — and is that the life you meant to live? This podcast is where that question breathes and unfolds. Music for Episodes 1-36 by Artist: Markusen https://senormarkusen.bandcamp.com (https://senormarkusen.bandcamp.com) . Music for Episodes 36-present by: Pablo Guadalupe & Ariel Zutel.

Are You an Emotional Beggar?
Published 7 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Why? Because the way that I want to feel is in the hands of others. Does that mean that we don't care? Like, you know, I should just not care what people say. No, we do care. We are social, you know, beings. And of course, I care about how you interact with me with it. You respect me or understand me or see me. But caring is different than if my total well-being depends on how you treat me or how you even are in life, like how you're behaving, how you're speaking in general. So this is a very dainty point, but it's also very difficult. You were reading it first time. What were your thoughts? feedback and feelings, because as people are listening to us, they probably have a certain kind of response or reaction to this reading. […]
