Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.
'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' –
TED
In Hyperfocus, you will learn:

  • How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
  • How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
  • How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired

  • Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.
    In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.
    'The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics – When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!' – Chris Guillebeau, author of Side Hustle.

        Chris Bailey's fetching narration has the spontaneous enthusiasm and earnestness of someone who knows his subject well. His colorful phrasing, always in sync with the nature of his content, allows his charm as a teacher to shine. As an author, he's done a thorough job of explaining how to tweak our thinking and attention to get things done. He reports the challenges he's faced with his own writing and with familiar chores, boring tasks, and all kinds of distractions. His overviews and explanations are crystal clear and often striking as he explains the difference between hyperfocus and "scatterfocus," which is a looser, more spontaneous way of thinking that allows more discovery and creativity. This audiobook is an appealing listen and a highly useful guide for making the most of your time and priorities. T.W. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
