Zelana Montminy: Finding Focus, Gebunden

Klappentext

"Our brains are wired for focus. We are designed for it, we crave it, and yet, in an age of distraction, focus remains more elusive than ever. "Finding Focus" is a powerful, holistic approach to recover your attention and train your brain to concentrate in a world defined by distraction. The technology around us is quite literally designed to catch and keep our attention, so it's no wonder that we feel endlessly distracted. Using science-backed approaches, behavioral scientist Dr. Zelana Montminy guides readers on a journey to reclaim their attention. Focus is a skill, and through practical tools, exercises, and simple tips, readers will learn how to improve it. "Finding Focus" explores the multifaceted physical and behavioral dynamics involved in focus, from how we feed our brains to the habits that improve concentration. The book also includes a twenty-one-day kickstart guide to rebuild your attention from the ground up, along with a toolkit of "emergency" concentration tools for when life gets crazy. Focus is key to our ability to do good work, but it's connected to so much more than efficiency or productivity. When our rest is punctured by email notifications, we feel exhausted; when family time is disrupted by multitasking, we seem disconnected from each other; when creative space is drained away by the lure of the endless internet, we feel empty. But if we can control our attention and be present, if we choose when and how we engage, we have a greater sense of well-being, deeper fulfillment, and a clearer purpose. "Finding Focus" is an empowering guide to retrain your brain to focus and reclaim the things you love in the process"--
