  • In Focus, Psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman, author of the #1 international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, offers a groundbreaking look at today's scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention.
    Combining cutting-edge research with practical findings, Focus delves into the science of attention in all its varieties, presenting a long overdue discussion of this little-noticed and under-rated mental asset. In an era of unstoppable distractions, Goleman persuasively argues that now more than ever we must learn to sharpen focus if we are to survive in a complex world.
    Goleman boils down attention research into a threesome: inner, other, and outer focus. Drawing on rich case studies from fields as diverse as competitive sports, education, the arts, and business, he shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus, and explains how those who rely on Smart Practices-mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental "prosthetics" that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain greatness-excel while others do not.

    The problem with this video is that while you watch it, you start reading the comments at the same time.. therefore you lose focus.

    endless seductions -- so pervasive in our culture. Any lecture that gives us insight to keep on track (when so many distractions take us away from our immediate concern or task) is of value.

    Mindfulness , by Buddha , 5000 years ago.
    Emotional intelligence, 1990.
    I enjoy the way things are progressing and being explained scientifically,
    Something very important to us, spirituality should be practiced also.
    Mind , body, spirit.

    How wonderful to hear such a brilliant mind sum up how destructively our industrial systems deviate from Nature. I sincerely hope more people (from Google and beyond) really start incorporating Biomimicry as an elegant & powerful lens for finding solutions. P.S. I love that Google brings in authors for lectures at the office!

    15:00 Good work - Howard Gardner: Combines our best kills (what we are excellent at), what we love (what engages us), and what we believe in (sense of ethics, value, purpose, and meaning). Alignment of excellent, engagement, and ethics.

      Spelling/grammar fix and expansion: 15:00 Howard Gardner: "Good Work" combines our best skills (what we are excellent at), what we love doing (what engages us), and what we believe in (our sense of ethics, values, purpose, and meaning). In other words, an alignment of Excellence, Engagement and Ethics, resulting in an attentional state of maximal cognitive efficiency or maximal neural harmony, a state of "flow".

    I'm thankful for this lecture once again; focus, attention and cognition. Environment and health promotes the social well being of an individual as well as those around, it helps to listen to one's environment, to others and apply empathy when necessary to resolve a ' wicked ' problem. Thank you Daniel Goleman.

    A wonderful speech that I savored with my ears and mind :) However, I am a bit confused about a thing. At 10:46 Mr. Goleman specifies that " ... managing ourselves turns out to be based on how aware we are of ourselves.". Is it always the case for it to be that way? As far as I know, according to the Big Five model, being aware of ourselves relates to the trait Conscientiousness and self-consciousness is a trait facet of Neuroticism. There is no correlation between Neuroticism and Conscientiousness, meaning they are independent of one another. So while listening, I was still thinking "There are so many people overly conscious of what they feel and still not able to manage their emotions.". So maybe the cognitive ability to inhibit impulses is more important in this case? ( Sorry for this long comment. I am simply very curios about this topic :)) )

    Any idea on the book about focus, written by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Hewitt?. To be honest, I trust someone with true deep expertise like Daniel Coleman to make a speech, that sharing real first hand knowledge, rather than those who make money with talking and writing selfhelp books and no real acclaimed expertise ---And that includes Jim Rohn, the Herbalife dude, and Brian Tracy, the sale guy.
