nicki_j 's review for:
Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction
by Chris Bailey
In what I am sure must be some form of irony, I had a really hard time paying attention to this book! I have listened to countless (at least 100!) books in the car and I never felt I had an issue with paying attention to them. Of course, if I was concentrating on driving directions or traffic, I might have to rewind. But for this one, I just completely zoned out at times!
But, I am still giving this book 4 stars because when I did actually pay attention, I really liked what I heard. I am familiar with much of the research surrounding focus, productivity, etc. and Bailey was still able to provide some fresh and new information. Most unique are his conclusions on scatter focus, which I would probably call "zoning out" (perhaps what I was doing instead of listening in the car!) I also love concrete examples and tips for how to apply science to your everyday life and this book certainly delivered on those.
