Hyperfocus is a practical and transformative guide to mastering one of the most valuable resources we possess—our attention. In today's world of constant distractions and overwhelming demands on our cognitive abilities, many of us struggle with staying focused. Yet, we continue to multitask, filling our time with fleeting distractions that hinder our ability to be productive and creative.
Drawing on the latest neuroscientific research, Hyperfocus introduces readers to two powerful mental modes: hyperfocus, a state of deep concentration essential for high productivity, and scatterfocus, a creative mode that allows us to make new connections and come up with innovative ideas. Author Chris Bailey explores how we can tap into these modes to live a more purposeful and deliberate life, from managing distractions to working more efficiently.
