Our attention has never been as overwhelmed or in demand as it is today; we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little, and we've grown uncomfortable with boredom and a lack of stimulation and distraction. In 'Hyperfocus,' Chris Bailey - described by TED.com as 'the most productive man you could ever hope to meet' - 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 often counter-intuitive wisdom at play includes: how working fewer hours increases our productivity; how drinking caffeine strategically instead of habitually gives us more energy; and, how we get more done by making our work harder, not easier.
