About this listen
Overhaul your approach to concentration and productivity using strategic, science-proven methods to save hours a day and achieve twice as much.
Your current focus and productivity tactics might be “adequate.” But they will never be great or reach their potential if you don’t understand how your psychology and physiology work together to affect your focus. Short-circuit your brain into instant focus.
Focus Master looks at focus in a revolutionary new way and sheds light on studies both new and old that lead to the path of massive productivity and conquering of goals. It is a holistic view of how focus can be tackled from every angle of a person’s life. Other books will tell you to simply ditch your phone, stop multi-tasking, and sleep more. Is that really helpful information, or is it just common sense? Here, even the concept of focus is re-defined, and you will learn a plethora of actionable ways to integrate science into your daily life. Clear your mind, sit, and grind.
Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a best-selling author. He has worked with dozens of individuals to unlock their potential and path toward success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience. Defeat distractions and get “into the zone” on command.
- Master the foundations of discipline and willpower.
- Set goals that inevitable.
- The biological basis behind procrastination.
- Managing energy, your circadian rhythm, and nature’s schedule.
- Stop procrastinating and do more in half the time.
- How to effectively “singletask.”
- How to prime your mental engine.
- To-do lists, priority lists, don’t-do lists, and all you need to keep you accountable and on track.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Mistitled, pedantic, condescending
I could only make it through the first chapter and gave up. The title of this book and the description were just what I was looking for, but I was sorely disappointed. It was not about focus, but about procrastination, which is related, but not at all the same.The prose is flat..The author infuses no personality into the writing at all. It is like he is just talking down to his audience. He keeps repeating himself, which is annoying. Maybe there is gold later on in the book, but he does not preview the book at the beginning and there are no chapter titles in the Audible version, so I never got there.
