About this audiobook
In this audio presentation, you will learn how to improve your concentration skills. You will be taught techniques that will enable you to focus on what is most important in any situation while ignoring distractions.
Concentration is a practical skill that can enrich our lives considerably. Unfortunately, most of us are probably more familiar with losing our concentration than with effective "focusing" ability.
This recording will explore concentration in three stages. Firstly, it will explain what concentration is, then show you how it's influenced by your attitudes and emotions, and give you some practical tips to improve your concentration in a variety of daily situations.
An Author's Republic audio production.
