book: Focus by Daniel Goleman

Focus by Daniel Goleman | PhilosophersNotes - OPTIMIZE with Brian Johnson
"Daniel Goleman is a former New York Times science writer and author of the uber-bestselling book Emotional Intelligence. In Focus, we look at the underlying neuroscience of attention. We need to start by realizing that the strength (or weakness) of our attention is at the core of everything we do! 

Characteristics of smart (purposeful, deliberate) practice:

• clear goal
• focus
• immediate feeedback
• leave comfort zone
