This book focuses on brain research that connects goal-setting and its challenges with the constant distractions, external and internal, that our brains are dealing with today - brains that are not designed for this constant onslaught of distractions. It ends with some suggestions on how to cope with this stress. Useful, clearly written.

There is much useful material in the book, however, I think that it could have been condensed. The book has been divided into three sections, after the introduction. A review of how the brain processes information is in section 1. I think that, if the authors had accompanied this with diagrams, it would have helped.
For a first-time reader, it will be difficult to follow.
The second part focusses on the psychological, or behavioral, aspects. The useful aspect of this part is that the authors have assessed the distractions as per ager groups. However, they seem to have focussed on external distractions, not internal ones. A lot of this information could have been condensed.
The last section, which comprises the recommendations, again, could have been simplified. You can find this information in many places.
Still, they have combined three aspects: the brain, the 'psychological', and the 'recommendations' into one book
This is immensely helpful.… (más)
