ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS BY LEARNING TO FOCUS.
Focus can be learned and improved with practice, just like learning to read or write.
Focus is at the core of all human success, yet we are constantly distracted.
Distraction is damaging relationships, our working lives and our happiness.
Whether you're seeking to improve yourself as a team member or a leader, a partner or a parent, a student or a teacher, this book will help you learn how to focus and in doing so, dramatically improve your productivity, relationships, mental health, happiness and your ability to achieve your life goals.
Drawing on ancient Hindu monastic tradition, Dandapani shows us in this ten-step guide that concentration is a skill we can learn and improve with practice.
