Focus: Best Ways To Improve Your Concentration and Improve Your Learning

$2.99 is overpriced for this book. It is full of spelling and grammar mistakes and appears to have been thrown together for a quick buck. There are many simplistic tips which are unhelpful ("don't eat too many fatty foods," "be curious--always," "exercise," etc.). The concentration exercises included were very familiar to some I read online, but were not credited. At best, I got one or two minor points out of the book. A better book on the subject is called The Poverty of Attention by Ken Fite.

My brother had concentration troubles when he was a child, doctors usually sent him a lot of medicines and exercises to maintain concentration during class or doing homework. Those were difficult times for the family, if only I have known about this book a few years back, I could have helped him in a better way. In this book people will find techniques and full information to improve concentration skills and learning capacity, whether if they are currently studying, working or doing activities on their own.When reading this book, people will find some valuable information about concentration, how body and mental exercises can help being concentrated, and therefore, more productive during working hours. I do not regret buying this book in an Amazon’s promotion; on the contrary, I found it really interesting. I especially liked the fact that this book suggests that short breaks between activities, a good night sleep and practicing sports helps people focusing on their activities every day. I liked those ideas especially because I agree 100% with them.

This book was very practical with real world application. I gave this book 5 stars it was a short read very informative and have practical simple steps on how to focus. I like this book very much and it was simple, to the point, and very helpful. There are ways of focus like concentration exercises, meditation, and mindfulness you can fit into your daily routine so that you can increase your focus abilities.This book provides many tools and tips for staying concentrated to get important tasks done. If you are in a high pressure job situation, you need to get this book to enhance your performance. The steps this book takes you through will be easy for anyone to do and benefit from. Really highly recommend to anyone looking for an extra boost to increase focus.

I was looking for a book to help me with my concentration skills and memory retention. This one received a good amount of praise on Amazon, so I decided to buy it since it was on sale for $1.99. I know that most of the time the Amazon rating will be misleading and incorrect, but this is a self-help book for pete's sake. How different could my opinion be from the other 127 customers.I'm glad I bought this book, because it helped me realize how unproductive i was. It didn't help a lot in terms of the techniques, but it did help with making me feel like s*** (in a good way). I know I'm a huge procrastinator, and I honestly want to change. I want to be able to set my mind to a certain task and really excel in it. I've chosen to study premed (and med in the future) so that means a tremendous amount of things to be memorized. I know that the main problem why it takes me about 5 hours to study things is that my concentration falters off more often than the actual studying. I know that if I have the right mindset and concentrate enough, I could possibly finish studying in an hour or two. This book had a good amount of exercises that I plan on trying. I really hope that the ones mention would help me in my chosen field. I will be reading more self-help books regarding memory retention and concentration.4/5 stars. I delivered what it wanted to, and it helped me one way or another. I don't normally buy from Amazon (I'm an iBooks person), and to be frank this is only my second buy from Amazon ever. There are some books that are impossible to find anywhere, and I might have to buy more books from Amazon from now on. Some of the "indie authors" do have something to be proud of. They're not all bad.

Whenever people lose focus at work or school, they tend to scatter their energy and create more problems than solve them. As I recall, this book gave an advice that presence of mind is important. Gain more focus on your daily tasks with the help of this book and see that you hold control even tough situations.

I was very disappointed with this book overall. I agree that the grammar and spelling in general were distracting due to many errors still left in the text as well as the very elementary way this book was written. There are some semi-decent ideas and there are good concepts in the book. If you have never thought about any techniques whatsoever to try and help yourself focus I imagine you would gain something from this book. Overall, though, it was not well researched or substantiated by anything, it felt like a journal entry but the author. I would definitely not recommend this book unfortunately.

The book offers several tips to help you learn how to focus your attention and achieve your goals.However, it has too many orthographical mistakes that hinder the messageIf the author fixes the errors and improves the grammar this will become a great book to read.

Lots of negative reviews on here focusing on the typos in the book.If you get past those, the content is actually beneficial, I have found.Provides exercises to get better at focusing.Try it.It's easy to read and I integrate the advice into my daily life to get better at what I do.

This is short book but to the point, it explains the importance of concentration and how hard it is to stay focused nowadays. I find it hard to concentrate on something for too long, I lose my focus and start to procrastinate. I think the usage of technology like mobile phones, internet and many other are huge distractions. This book has mind practices which you can follow and it will help you stay focused, Meditation is a great one!

I did not find this book to be useful. If you have looked at other self-help books about concentration, focus, meditation, mindfulness, or the myriad other books out there to improve yourself, you will have read all of this elsewhere. It will have been better written, too. I bought this to read on my Kindle, and the electronic version is littered with typographical errors, misspellings, grammatical errors and poor use of English. This is to the point where it gets in the way of appreciation or enjoyment. It needs a bit of editorial control and someone with a basic knowledge of proof reading to even bring this up to standard.

great read, good price

Get it, you'll be empowered tremendously ! If this book would cost 10 times more I still would buy it

We all have memory issues from time to time and/or find it hard to concentrate or retain information. It’s a fact of life, right? Affects me too. Reading this book has opened me up to techniques which may help with that and which I will start to implement and practice.Fortunately, for a book on concentration, it’s a tight read easy to read and understand. The strategies and tips contained within are simple enough for anyone to do whether it be to help with concentrating or even if preparing for say an important test or a big presentation at work which requires some prep and information to be memorised in advance.Really enjoyed reading it. Top stuff well delivered.

This is a short but very useful book. Topics covered include how to deal with distractions. However, the distractions contained in the book were the number of typing and spelling errors. My copy of this book was littered with errors from cover to cover.
