Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence by Daniel Goleman

3.0

For a book about focus, this was fairly unfocused. It definitely wasn’t what I expected. I learned some things and appreciated thinking about focus in a broader way, but ultimately didn’t really feel like there was a point to this book. You demonstrate your priorities by where you place your attention, I guess? No one needed another book for that.

There’s a fair amount of uninterrogated bias in here too, including anti-fatness and classism. He’s just repeating very common tropes, but… I’d hope for a little more of Mr Emotional Intelligence.
