A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Where did my day go? I'm being pulled in several directions at once. I'm too busy to do any one thing properly.
If these conditions sound familiar, then you are not alone. Being able to perform any task with full attention has become one of the great unspoken-about challenges of modern life. As our culture becomes more high-speed, techno-stressed, information-cluttered and media-saturated, we are getting pushed out of our focus zones without even realising it. We end up in a state of 'continuous partial attention' in which our choices slip away and our quality of life suffers as we constantly fight distraction.
So what's the secret - known only to a select group of high-achievers, including Olympic athletes - to finding your focus zone? The key is managing adrenaline. Too much and you're overstimulated; too little and you're sluggish. In this groundbreaking new book, award-winning psychologist Lucy Jo Palladino gives you eight sets of keys to unlock your best attention so that you can concentrate in any situation. The skills you'll learn in Find Your Focus Zone will help you to:
* Beat procrastination
* Overcome obstacles and finish what you start
* Avoid missed deadlines
* Stop feeling scattered and ineffective
This is a book for anyone who struggles to cut through the noise of everyday life, giving you the tools you need to succeed in today's digital world of distraction. Warm, practical and user-friendly, with innovative techniques and a powerful message, it's the perfect solution to juggling too much and getting nowhere fast. Now you too can learn the same methods that high performers use - to win, succeed and achieve great results.
