Rapt attention and the focused life
Behavioral science writer Winifred Gallagher makes the argument that the quality of your life largely depends on what you choose to pay attention to and how you choose to do it. Gallagher grapples with provocative questions--Can we train our focus? What's different about the way creative people pay attention? Why do we often zero in on the wrong factors when making big decisions?--driving us to reconsider what we think we know about attention.

- "Presents an argument that the quality of one's life is directly related to the focus of one's attention, drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology to cover such topics as the human capacity for training concentration, the ways in which the creative mind thinks, and why people deliberate on the wrong factors when making big decisions."@en
