An excellent book! I had already found Valerie’s first book, 'Quick Thinking on Your Feet’, very beneficial and I picked this book up at a time when I needed to refocus in all areas of my life. I found ‘Focus: The Art of Clear Thinking’ covered many of the challenges I was facing, in many cases without realising exactly what the issue was. It was very easy to read and the short anecdotes throughout illustrated the points very well, enabling me to relate it to my own experience. The book includes helpful, practical techniques to find and maintain focus. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to find and keep focus, build confidence and reduce stress levels, while succeeding at the same time.
Pierce provides very practical steps on the Art of Clear Thinking and how to remain focused. This book is written with a very pedagogical approach, you have the feeling of being in an intense leadership workshop going through step by step how to manage your own and others passions ,feelings and behaviors. The architecture of this model is easy to follow and very down to earth, her personal experiences and examples are full of candor and are enlightening and thought provoking. In every step of the book you have the impression of going through a roller coaster in your learning curve. I have already applied and shared many of Pierce's insights during my Executive Coaching work and have recommended to some passionate executives to read this book .
Focus The Art of Clear Thinking - is an excellent book! It is easy to read and filled with practical examples, exercises, anecdotes and inspiration to help you Focus and move towards your goals.The concept of “Passion (focus) vs Emotion (ego)” and its impact on your outcome is very powerful. Transforming “negative thinking into positive outcomes” really resonated with me as we all face daily challenges. The use of visuals in this book are also excellent e.g. “Stairway to Peak Performance”, “Courage”, “Staying Power”.I would highly recommend this book. I found the book thought provoking and inspiring and you will find many ‘jewels’ to help you see clearly what you want to achieve and how you can achieve it with Focus.
