Summary:
"E-mails, apps, banners, push messages, trending topics, and cat videos - these days it's harder than ever to concentrate continuously for more than a few minutes. Is that a problem? Yes, because concentration is essential for being able to work creatively and productively. Time for science to come up with answers. Attention expert and cognitive psychologist Stefan van der Stigchel helps you to emerge as the winner of the battle for your attention. He shows how concentration works, makes clear how we sometimes misuse our working memory and explains the latest scientific insights. But above all, he provides techniques that allow you to maintain your concentration for longer. In short, with this book you choose what deserves your attention."--From publisher.
