- In Focus, Psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman, author of the #1 international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, offers a groundbreaking look at today's scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention.
Combining cutting-edge research with practical findings, Focus delves into the science of attention in all its varieties, presenting a long overdue discussion of this little-noticed and under-rated mental asset. In an era of unstoppable distractions, Goleman persuasively argues that now more than ever we must learn to sharpen focus if we are to survive in a complex world.
Goleman boils down attention research into a threesome: inner, other, and outer focus. Drawing on rich case studies from fields as diverse as competitive sports, education, the arts, and business, he shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus, and explains how those who rely on Smart Practices-mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental "prosthetics" that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain greatness-excel while others do not. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
endless seductions -- so pervasive in our culture. Any lecture that gives us insight to keep on track (when so many distractions take us away from our immediate concern or task) is of value.
... were the seductions planned? think about it ...
The problem with this video is that while you watch it, you start reading the comments at the same time.. therefore you lose focus.
Benito Montero you are right man
Oh my...busted!
That is a helpful insight . Thanks for posting it .
😊
Awesome talk, thank you for sharing, I equally love the most accurate & simplified description, on complex issue such as achieving the most desired state, state of flow.
I'm thankful for this lecture once again; focus, attention and cognition. Environment and health promotes the social well being of an individual as well as those around, it helps to listen to one's environment, to others and apply empathy when necessary to resolve a ' wicked ' problem. Thank you Daniel Goleman.
Once again, Dr. Goleman never fails to leave you with tools that pragmatic and blanket everyone pragmatically. His material is absolute gold!
Yea, this the right audience to lecture about focus. It's those guys who allow/encourage TH-camrs to placd ads in the middle of videos. Yea, great idea. 'How not to support a society's ability to focus and to memorise coherent information'. Well done!
Time well spent with tons of practical application
15:00 Good work - Howard Gardner: Combines our best kills (what we are excellent at), what we love (what engages us), and what we believe in (sense of ethics, value, purpose, and meaning). Alignment of excellent, engagement, and ethics.
Spelling/grammar fix and expansion: 15:00 Howard Gardner: "Good Work" combines our best skills (what we are excellent at), what we love doing (what engages us), and what we believe in (our sense of ethics, values, purpose, and meaning). In other words, an alignment of Excellence, Engagement and Ethics, resulting in an attentional state of maximal cognitive efficiency or maximal neural harmony, a state of "flow".
2:36 party on !!
Three years have passed and the talk is still very useful and up to date.
thank you.
Yes, I try to convey this fact every day. Time is finite, mental resources are finite.
8 years now!
Such a great lecture. These google talks are amazing! Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you for the lecture :).
SUPERB , GREAT LESSON OF FOCUS
I loved everything about this talk. Great takeaways for someone designing learning experiences. Thanks for having such great conversations and sharing it @Google.
I'm reading this book right now and it's wonderful
Mindfulness , by Buddha , 5000 years ago.
Emotional intelligence, 1990.
I enjoy the way things are progressing and being explained scientifically,
Something very important to us, spirituality should be practiced also.
Mind , body, spirit.
Kenneth Lee i was also wondering the same..
How wonderful to hear such a brilliant mind sum up how destructively our industrial systems deviate from Nature. I sincerely hope more people (from Google and beyond) really start incorporating Biomimicry as an elegant & powerful lens for finding solutions. P.S. I love that Google brings in authors for lectures at the office!
Just finished this brilliant book! Daniel Goldman is superb!
muy buena elección es tener este nuevo libro y disfrutar atentamente de sus páginas con aleccionadores estímulos para estar "enfocados/as"
An incredible speaker and intellect on the subject, speaking the speak at Google which is helping destroying people’s attention every second of every day. Interesting, that’s all. No one can stop the addiction to smartphones but themselves.
A wonderful speech that I savored with my ears and mind :) However, I am a bit confused about a thing. At 10:46 Mr. Goleman specifies that " ... managing ourselves turns out to be based on how aware we are of ourselves.". Is it always the case for it to be that way? As far as I know, according to the Big Five model, being aware of ourselves relates to the trait Conscientiousness and self-consciousness is a trait facet of Neuroticism. There is no correlation between Neuroticism and Conscientiousness, meaning they are independent of one another. So while listening, I was still thinking "There are so many people overly conscious of what they feel and still not able to manage their emotions.". So maybe the cognitive ability to inhibit impulses is more important in this case? ( Sorry for this long comment. I am simply very curios about this topic :)) )
basically a 1h reminder of getting back to work
8:53 How do you tackle it, when the top 10% of the role holders have variation in the traits exhibitted,due to their style of working (equifinality)? Does the competency model hold its relevance?
Great speech !! Thank you Talks at Google
Well, I think that connection between making love and focus is worth to think about that....
A great talk from a brilliant mind.
Thank you so much, Google !
my heart has melted @19:47 ,damn you you lucky cameraman !! cant't focus anymore...
SIMP??
34:34 the moment that you realize, we have 20 more minutes, let’s forget the subject of the talk and speak about Human Footprint on earth! Really!!!!
Fabulous lecture; this one won't waste your time.
There is no such thing as wasting time, whether you give it others or give it yourself both do not make any sense. Time is running away every day.
What a great introduction! I wish I was I had a friend like that fella!
Love the opening guy lol
Thank you very much.
Great talk!
15:05 "good work" - excellence + engagement + ethic
Inspired to learn more about our everyday working brain, emotional and physical!
Thanks Google Talks!
that was awesome !!!
Femme Fatale jn
Focus to the solution and breaking the hard core.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks 😀
Any idea on the book about focus, written by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Hewitt?. To be honest, I trust someone with true deep expertise like Daniel Coleman to make a speech, that sharing real first hand knowledge, rather than those who make money with talking and writing selfhelp books and no real acclaimed expertise ---And that includes Jim Rohn, the Herbalife dude, and Brian Tracy, the sale guy.
45:04 Reinvent Everything!

11:06 the way this man's looking at Daniel is absolutely terrifying.
😀 he is trying to "focus" in a hard way.
He is thinking deeply - he asked three questions at the end!
Ironically ... am listening while coding :D ! Focus !

what about tapping into the creativity of ADD students in the educational system, rather than just classifying it as a problem all through the school years - the educational system should adapt, not the other way around....
Notes to myself:
Hiring: 9:00
gut feeling , what about experiances
28:26
Reading comments on a video on focus
I thought that was Eric Schmidt at 11:12, but it's not :-)

Divrrsions in all ways is the culprit

What happened after 40 mins? Where did it go or was it my Focus?
Flow is something like a bored state, not an aware state at all.
This needs ENG sub titles
Closed captioning has pretty good subtitles.

52:42 The penguin has escaped gotham city to attend google seminar.
He will find him, and make him SQUEAL! I know a squealer when I see one, and that,
Stop 🛑 reading the comments and focus on the video ✋🏼
So, the talk is about focus until the speaker drifts off topic to some generic environmental awareness concern... thing (that I personally don't care about). So much for the focus then.
(still find the talk useful)

The talk is supposed to be about “focus”, but surprisingly the talk doesn’t make a coherent focused lecture! To me he just narrate whatever interesting comes to his mind! Ironically, this is the example not being focused!
34:34 the moment that you realize, we have 20 more minutes, let’s forget the subject of the talk and speak about Human Footprint on earth! Really!!!!
"Intelligente warrior 69"
It was interesting until the point when he started talking about the footprint. Guess what, my amygdala doesn't care.
damn i lost focus.

Nothing irks me more than people who use an obscure abbreviation define it once in the beginning and then keep talking about it for the next 25 minutes... LCA... LCA blah blah blah LCA
Is it just me or is this talk all over the place - it ends with discussion about global warming what?
+mo O it is you, and me too. ==> it is all over the place. but still leave a good overall feel.
+mo O Yeah... I was wondering about the same thing haha!
I lost interest so much I started reading the reviews to see if it was just me. The comments are hilarious and kept my attention better than the lecture.
