People who are focused are more alert, experience less stress, and worry less. Unfortunately, focus has become a rare commodity: our attention span has dramatically decreased over the past decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFocus is the New Gold\u003c\/em\u003e by Elke Geraerts explores how many times we've been distracted today from what we actually wanted to do. We live in a world of constant connectivity, where distraction lurks around every corner. Our endless to-do lists and packed schedules reflect what's going on in our minds: we are constantly in overdrive, and our focus is completely lost. No wonder stress and burnout rates are at an all-time high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite knowing more than ever what we need to remain resilient and healthy, our overstimulated brain seems unable to handle all that knowledge, let alone put it into practice. Ten years after her bestseller \u003cem\u003eBetter Minds\u003c\/em\u003e, Elke Geraerts presents a book tailored to a generation without attention. She combines powerful insights with practical tools that can be implemented immediately. Her goal? Sharpening our focus again. Not only by making us work more efficiently and attentively, but also—and especially—by teaching us to deliberately unfocus.
