Goleman (Emotional Intelligence), a psychologist and former New York Times science journalist, here argues that the ability to focus one's attention is the key to success in work, play, personal relationships, and self-awareness. Using research findings, personal experience, and case studies from a wide variety of fields including business, education, the arts and sports, Goleman illustrates how focus affects all aspects of life. He also offers suggestions to improve one's ability to focus attention inward and toward others and the surroundings. Goleman's well-paced reading is crisp and clear.
VERDICT This program will appeal to those interested in psychology, business, and human resources. ["This work is recommended for those interested in being a better person and for libraries offering books on psychology and self-help," read the review of the Harper hc, LJ 10/15/13.]
