Goleman appears to have the measure of his readers. In Focus, he
cleverly employs short chapters littered with case studies to
engage professionals swimming against a tide of electronic
correspondence ... A highly readable manifesto for turning our
smartphones off once in a while
*Financial Times*
From the best-selling author of Emotional Intelligence is this
collection on attention, about our age of rampant distraction.
Goleman says both focused attention and mind-wandering are
necessary for well-balanced, insightful brains ... This is a
riveting read
*Irish Examiner*
Focus certainly recounts some diverting anecdotes
*Ed Smith, The Times*
Sure to provoke oodles of debate about declining attention spans in
the young
*Bookseller*
