Loading... Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellenceby Daniel Goleman
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) mos3abof | Nov 19, 2023 |  Focus - I hate to say this but this book left me very confused. As my fellow reviewers pointed this book lacked focus. Mr. Goleman has rambled and certain sections of the book is discursive. I felt this books as a dissertation or a white paper than as a self-help book. There are no actionable items. Just a text book. Some of the sections are very good on their own, but they fail to dovetail into the context of Focus. For example, chapters in section 4, "The Bigger Context" are interesting but left me wondering what they have got to do anything with Focus. To certain the same can be said about section 3, "Reading Others" - I felt this section has more to do with Emotional Intelligence than with focus. I loved the section, "Smart Practice" - to me that's the only take away from this book.

HTML: In Focus, Psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman, author of the #1 international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, offers a groundbreaking look at today's scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention. 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 under-rated 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. Goleman boils down attention research into a threesome: inner, other, and outer focus. Drawing on rich case studies from fields as diverse as competitive sports, education, the arts, and business, he shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus, and explains how those who rely on Smart Practicesâ??mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental "prosthetics" that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain greatnessâ??excel while others do not No library descriptions found. |
