Daniel Goleman’s New Audio Series Helps People Enhance Attention, Stay Calm Under Pressure

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - Sept. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Northampton, MA – Daniel Goleman, author of the international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, has developed guided audio exercises to help people of all ages enhance their attention - today's scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment. Goleman draws on the latest psychological and neurological research to create practical methods to help people increase attentiveness, stay calm under pressure, and bolster key emotional intelligence skills such as empathy and self-awareness.

His three-CD collection (http://morethansound.net/shop/cultivating-focus-techniques-for-excellence/#.Ug5vrFPU6MI) complements his upcoming book Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence (http://www.harpercollins.com/books/Focus-Daniel-Goleman?isbn=9780062114860&HCHP=TB_Focus) (HarperCollins), which presents a thorough and long overdue discussion of this little-noticed and under-rated mental asset. Both the book and CDs will be released on October 8, 2013.

“Attention works much like a muscle: use it poorly and it can wither; work it well and it grows,” said Daniel Goleman. “In an era of unstoppable distractions, we must learn to sharpen focus if we are to contend with, let alone thrive in, a complex world.”

Cultivating Focus: Techniques for Excellence

Dr. Goleman’s guided exercises on Cultivating Focus are designed to help professionals hone their concentration, keep their cool in stressful situations, foster better relationships, and increase understanding of interconnectedness to larger systems. The CD is designed for individual use or for group coaching and trainings.

Focus for Kids: Enhancing Concentration, Caring and Calm and Focus for Teens: Enhancing Concentration, Caring and Calm
