There’s no question that focused attention is required for strong results. Through brain mapping, however, we are learning that being able to consciously sharpen our mental focus produces significant benefits to multiple forms of empathy which in turn impacts decision quality, relationships, systems awareness, and resilience via the ability to return to “normal” from various emotions.
NPR’s Diane Rehm interviewed Daniel Goleman about his new book and it’s a very enjoyable chat. Try to just listen to their conversation instead of multi-taking to connect with the concept of focus. What do you notice about your own focus?
