Daniel Goleman on Focus: The Secret to High Performance and Fulfilment

 Psychologist Daniel Goleman shot to fame with his groundbreaking

bestseller Emotional Intelligence.

The premise of the book, now widely accepted, is that raw intelligence alone is not a sure predictor of

success in life.

A greater role is played by 'softer' skills such as

self-control, self-motivation, empathy and good interpersonal

relationships.

Now Goleman comes to Intelligence Squared for an exclusive talk on the

themes of his latest book,

Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence.

Attention, he will argue, is an underrated asset for high achievers in

any field.

Incorporating findings from neuroscience, Goleman will show

why we need three kinds of focus:

1 = inner, for self-awareness;

2 = other, for the empathy that builds effective relationships; and

3 = outer, for understanding the larger systems in which organisations operate. 

Those who excel rely on Smart Practices such as mindfulness meditation,

focused preparation and positive emotions that help improve habits, add

new skills, and sustain excellence.
