Summary:
The book explores the science of attention in all its varieties, presenting a long-overdue discussion of this little-noticed and under-rated mental asset that matters enormously for how we navigate life. It argues that the ability to focus is a key indicator of success and well-being, and provides insights on how to cultivate a better attention span in a world full of distractions.
Key points:
1. Goleman identifies two key focus types: inner focus for self-awareness and outer focus for environmental awareness. Both are vital for success.
