From Hindu priest, entrepreneur, and renowned speaker Dandapani, a practical guide to mastering the art of concentration.

Dandapani argues that mastering the art of concentration–a skill we’re rarely taught–is the key to achieving our life goals, laying to rest mental roadblocks, and drastically improving productivity, relationships, mental and physical health, and happiness.

THE POWER OF UNWAVERING FOCUS distills his wisdom and learnings from ten years of monastic study into a step-by-step guide to taking charge of our lives by understanding the mind, harnessing awareness, and cultivating a concentration practice:

●Applies “the law of practice” to the mind, showing that if we want to concentrate, we must practice concentration.

●Outlines a practical, incremental, and sustainable program to build a concentration practice into necessary daily activities, like brushing teeth or speaking to a spouse.

●Explains how the mind really works–including the three principles of willpower and how controlling awareness gives us the power to decide how we invest our energy.

●Argues that technology is not the source of distraction and unhappiness, but rather a tool we need to harness deliberately and healthfully—and offers strategies for doing so.

●Debunks myths and unhelpful definitions around meditation, mindfulness, multitasking, and more.

●Explores practical applications including athletic performance, parenting and ADHD diagnoses, and professional growth and collaboration.
