Summary

In this highly anticipated book, psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman, author of the international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, offers a radically new view of a scarce and undervalued resource within our society, a secret to excellence: attention. People who reach their maximum performance, whether it’s in school, business, sports, or the arts, are those who are skillful at both focusing and meditating. Combining cutting-edge research with practical knowledge, Focus digs into the science behind attention in all its varieties—internal and external focus. In the era of endless distractions, Goleman argues that now, more than ever before, we must learn to focus our attention. It is necessary to form a sense of self-control to improve empathy and to understand the complex world we live in.
