To Focus or not to focus that is the question...

FOCUS by Daniel Goleman

When we think of focus we tend to think of only one thing. Success then is defined as narrowly thinking about a single action, plan, or person, with intense focus.   

In the book Goleman tells us that at times it is better not to focus at all! Drifting minds are creative minds because the mind is allowed to flow in any direction it chooses.

Why is any of this important?  The better we are at focusing the better our chances are at improving our life. 

The examples in this book are crystal clear.  I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend it.  The only difficulty I found was sometimes in presenting the advances in brain research it became at times technical.

Here are a few examples:

Self-Awareness Focus

Empathy Focus

Big Thinking Focus

Organizing Complex Systems Focus

Long Term Focus or Future Focus

Practice Focus
