"I can't read more than two pages at a time. I have an irresistible urge to go online and check if I have new emails. I think I'm losing my ability to focus on anything serious."

In his new book "Focus: The Power of Attention", psychologist, journalist, and author of the international bestseller "Emotional Intelligence", Daniel Goleman, takes us on an exciting journey in search of the secret to high performance and well-being in life. Based on the latest and often unexpected findings of neuroscience, delving into scientific data and drawing from his personal experiences throughout his long and dynamic career, Daniel Goleman guides us through the increasingly accessible pathways of our minds.

Along the way, we see one of the key aspects of the often overlooked attention emerging: focus. In an era characterized by information overload and where most of us live in challenging environments full of stress, competitive goals, and temptations, focus allows us to identify and stay focused on the tasks and issues that concern us, simultaneously disregarding all distractions and ignoring everything that is not important to us. Lack of focus can undermine our life or career. However, its sufficiency will allow us to navigate safely and confidently through intense distractions and find the path to professional success and life satisfaction.

A very important distinction made by Goleman is the three interconnected and equally necessary types of focus: self-focus, focus on others, and focus on the external environment. Each of these helps us find the desired balance point, so that we can have a happy and productive life.

"Focus: The Power of Attention" is a groundbreaking and exceptionally well-written book that is aimed at people of all ages and professions: young and adult, ordinary workers, professionals, and leaders. In an uncertain and constantly changing world, the power of attention is an extremely important skill, one of the fundamental elements of emotional intelligence and a crucial factor for success in every aspect of life.
