PRAISE FOR CHRIS BAILEY’S 
HYPERFOCUS
 
“There are two kinds of focus we need in order to pursue what’s essential in life: focus as a noun (our fixed 
intent) and focus as a verb (the ongoing process of connecting the dots). This is brilliantly illustrated both in 
writing and in graphics in this latest book from Chris Bailey. I loved the book.” 
—Greg McKeown, author of 
Essentialism
“Practical, well written and timely. Chris Bailey tackles one of the most important topics today as we seek 
success at work and attempt to raise positive kids in the modern world. What you attend to becomes your 
reality. 
Hyperfocus
provides a practical path to using our attention to create an adaptive reality. If we want to 
achieve greater success and happiness, we need to start by 
focusing upon what our brain is attending to.”

Shawn Achor, author of 
The Happiness Advantage
