Welcome to Litsy!

This was okay… good tips and anecdotes. Trying to keep myself motivated in my career and moving ahead. Time to focus.

Ironically given the subject matter, this book seemed unfocused and disorganized to me. It felt like he actually wanted to write a book on leadership, not the neuroscience of focus and attention.

Easy to read explanations about how the mind works and how focus affects our lives. Informative and helpful in training yourself to improve focus.
