For anyone who struggles to concentrate in a world of constant distraction, this ten-step guide by world-renowned Hindu priest Dandapani teaches us how to focus based on ancient monastic wisdom.

'In a world dominated by distraction, this book is a timely reminder of the value of focused attention.' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again

Does your mind wander? Do you find it hard to concentrate? Do you jump from one task to another? Are you stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Fearful? The life you want is within reach by learning to focus.

By mastering the skill of focus, we can become our best selves. Focus lies at the core of all human success, but never before have so many of us experienced the inability to concentrate. Distraction is a silent epidemic in our modern world. It is damaging relationships, our working lives and our happiness. We've become masters of distraction because that's what we practice all day, every day. As our fast-paced lives compete with a relentless bombardment of information, we switch focus from one thing to another all the time.

The Power of Unwavering Focus is a practical, ten-step guide to understanding and harnessing the human mind. Whether you're seeking to improve yourself as a parent, a leader or an attentive listener, this book will help you learn how to focus and in doing so, dramatically improve your productivity, relationships, mental health, happiness and your ability to achieve your life goals.

Drawing on ancient Hindu monastic tradition, Dandapani shows us that concentration is a skill that we can learn and improve through practice.
