trapwomanistcyborgwitch's review against another edition

Good information and research presented but not a lot of practical solutions. I did learn a lot about neural pathways and how the mind works and will apply it to the next book with better advice about focusing.

AUDIOBOOK
I only got about 10% of the way through this book. It was too slow and drawn out for me. Nothing practical, just information. I was bored and couldn't get into it. I might try to listen to it again.

Ironically, it was hard for me to stay focused on this book.

Focus has many meanings to Goleman
This book started where I expected it to but ended in a completely different place. Goldman starts by taking a micro-view of focus: how does one brain focus? And slowly transforms into a treatise on macro-focus: how does society focus? And on what?
His references were poignant and timely, and I found myself wishing I’d read it sooner, even as I struggled to, well… focus.

Somewhat ironically, I lost focus on the book halfway through. I like the overall concept of the book, but the N=1 examples are hard to get through.
