Focus

The importance of achieving focus goes well beyond your own productivity.

Deep focus allows you to lead others successfully, find clarity amid uncertainty, and heighten your sense of professional fulfillment.

Yet the forces that challenge sustained focus range from dinging phones to office politics to life's everyday worries. This book explains how to strengthen your ability to focus, manage your team's attention, and break the cycle of distraction.

This volume includes the work of Daniel Goleman

Heidi Grant, Amy Jen Su, and Rasmus Hougaard.
