Join fellow ASTD-Memphis members for dining and  discussion of Daniel Goleman’s book, Focus.  If you find that you are constantly multi-tasking and your attention is pulled in many directions, this book offers insight and strategies.

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.

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.
