About this listen
Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.
'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' – TED
In Hyperfocus, you will learn:
- How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired
Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.
In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.
'The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics – When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!' – Chris Guillebeau, author of Side Hustle.

For erratic minds seeking tools and understanding
This book is essentially about how to organise your thoughts. This is a great book if you have an erratic mind, that doesn’t switch off and is eternally curious at the world around you!
I loved how the author explained the constructs between intelligence and creativity, saying… both intelligence and creativity involve connecting dots but in different ways. Intelligence involves connecting dots so we understand a given topic more intricately. Creativity also involves connecting dots, but in new and novel ways.

Same information recycled.
You have read all of this before if you have ever read a productivity book. Read 4 hour work week instead. More on offer.

Even my engineer husband liked this one...
As a leadership specialist married to an Engineer with honors - yep...that much an engineer, he often has fun with the books I listen to on my commutes, however he like the practical tips in this one. Appeals to a broad audience I suggest.

Easy to listen, full of great advice
Everyone would benefit from this book’s advice, but if you are a little ADHD or find it difficult to focus the advice is even more important.

Not a productive use of my listening time
He seems like a nice guy but he needs to respect his listeners’ time and get to the point more. Especially given the subject matter! So much repetition and meandering that I struggled to remain focused on the content. I hung on for as long as I could hoping to learn something new, but had to call it quits. Still giving it three stars as it appears there are people who do derive value from it, and who perhaps haven’t come across the same material before.
I find the slow speaking style with randomly placed word emphasis and pauses somewhat distracting, but again I think that’s just a personal thing. I think overall he’s done a reasonable job.

No name on chapters
No chapter names, impossible to revisit the important parts or take notes easily for learning.
