Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence

Q: Why read this book?
A: Ray answers...

Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence comes from the author of Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ , Daniel Goleman, PhD.

Personal productivity is based on skills, strategies, and tools that we learn and use in our lives; focus is one of those vital skills. We can focus innately, but our hyperactive media and complex lives really competes with our ability to focus. Dr. Goleman provides some really fascinating insights and practical techniques by shining the spotlight on our attention so that we're better able to protect it. I believe it is focus, not time, that is our greatest asset. With it, you can choose to savor the moment, change your feelings, or act on a circumstance.

Focus: The Hidden Drive of Excellence is a great book in helping us take control of our lives through a simple yet elegant cognitive skill.
