'Finding Focus is an essential read for our distracted times' - Dr Mark Hyman

'Filled with helpful applications and science-packed insights, this practical guide to improving our mental focus empowers us to create real changes in our daily lives that can improve our mental and physical health' - Dr Daniel J. Siegel

Our brains are wired for focus. We are designed for it, we crave it, and yet in our current age of overload we too often feel like our minds are bolting from one distraction to the next, with sustained focus always just out of reach.

Finding Focus is an empowering guide to reclaiming your most precious resource: your attention. Leading behavioural scientist Dr Zelana Montminy unveils the science behind focus and distraction, revealing how our hyperconnected reality and the endless flux between digital and physical life fragments our thoughts and diminishes our well-being.

The good news? Your brain is more adaptable than you think. Finding Focus equips you with powerful strategies to:

* Silence the noise: Learn to manage distractions and cultivate an environment that fosters deep concentration.

* Rewire your brain: Discover the science of neuroplasticity and harness its power to train your brain for sustained focus.

* Unleash your potential: Reclaim the ability to connect meaningfully, contribute authentically, and shape the life you desire.

* Rediscover yourself: Fuel your curiosity, creativity, and capacity for joy.

Focus is key to our ability to do good work, but it's connected to so much more than just efficiency or productivity. When our rest is punctured by email notifications we feel exhausted; when family time is disrupted by multitasking we seem disconnected from each other; when creative space is drained away by the lure of other priorities, we feel empty. But if we can control our attention and be present, if we choose when and how we engage, we have a greater sense of wellbeing, deeper fulfillment, and a clear purpose. Finding Focus invites you to ask the question 'Where do I want to direct my focus today?' and supports you on your journey to reclaiming your attention and curating the life you want to lead. It is a call to arms for anyone yearning to break free from the grip of distraction and live a life brimming with purpose and connection.
