This new revised edition of "Hyperfocus" is a practical guide to managing your attention: the most powerful resource you have to get things done, be more creative and live a meaningful life.

Our attention has never been so overloaded as it is today. Our brains struggle to multitask, while we fill every moment of our lives to the limit with meaningless distractions.
The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes of acting when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the basis for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which allows us connect ideas in new ways.

Through reading this book, you will be able to identify and deal with the four key types of distraction and interruption; will establish a clear physical and mental environment in which to work; you will control motivation and work fewer hours to be more productive; You will know how to pause intentionally and you will learn when to pay attention and when to let your mind wander.

Reviews:
"Hyperfocus does an admirable job unraveling the realities, obstacles, and best practices for managing the subtle but ever-present world of our conscious attention. We can all improve how, when, and what we focus on. This is an extraordinary report and insightful, research-based information whose information will help us achieve greater satisfaction in our lives. Bravo, Chris."
―DAVID ALLEN, author of Get Organized Effectively

"Being more productive doesn't mean managing time; it means focusing attention. I'd tell you more about that, but I lost my train of thought. Fortunately, this engaging book is here to help us. Chris Bailey offers practical, data-driven insights to sharpen your focus, as well as to find the right moments to disperse it."
