The Power of Focus

by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt

Ten focusing strategies, from habits and priority to confidence, asking and consistency, with action steps at the end of each chapter. It is a well-made, conventional success book from the Chicken Soup authors, and the action steps are where its value sits.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want a structured workbook on priorities and follow-through.

Skip it if…

you want originality; it synthesises the standard advice.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Focus on your strengths and delegate the rest.
  2. Habits determine results.
  3. Consistency is the strategy most people skip.

Do this first

Do the 'habits' action steps in chapter one before reading further.

Our verdict

Conventional, structured, workable.
