Publisher's Summary

Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.

'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' –
TED

In Hyperfocus, you will learn:
- How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.

In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.

'The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics – When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!' – Chris Guillebeau, author of Side Hustle.

Excellent book and well narrated

Hope to engine some of the techniques in and make habits. There is so much that we can do in our daily life that is either great or absolute waste of time and energy. This book enables you to identify these and that’s the key to recognise what you need to do

A must read for anyone who doubts his/her productivity.

At first, I was not expecting this book to be so great. I had been struggling with my productivity for a while. Now after listening to this audiobook, I decided to purchase the kindle version and create a personalized blue print for myself. I anticipate great results from applying the principles in this book. Cheers Chris. You’ve literally covered all aspects of life. Finally just one word, MASTERPIECE!
