It is a powerful guide for taking control of our attention and will lead you to nothing less than taking control of your life." -- Tony Schwartz, author of The Power of Full Engagement and CEO of The Energy Project"Attention is so important that ordinary people take it for granted, while scientists subject it to microanalysis.
