In Focus, psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman offers a groundbreaking look at today’s scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention. He shows why high-achievers need focus, and explains how those who rely on Smart Practices – mindfulness meditation, focused preparation, and recovery – excel while others do not, improving their habits, adding new skills, and sustaining greatness.

Combining cutting-edge research with practical findings, Focus delves into the science of attention in all its varieties, presenting a long overdue discussion of this little-noticed and underrated mental asset. In an era of unstoppable distractions, Goleman persuasively argues that now, more than ever, we must learn to sharpen focus if we are to survive in a complex world.
