Focus (Daniel Goleman)

£4.00

Focus by Daniel Goleman explores how the ability to direct and sustain our attention has become one of the most important skills for navigating modern life. Goleman examines three forms of focus: inner focus, which helps us understand ourselves and manage our emotions; focus on others, which strengthens empathy, relationships and connection; and outer focus, which helps us understand wider systems, environments and challenges. The book argues that attention is a skill that can be developed, and that learning to manage where we place our focus can improve decision-making, performance, relationships and leadership.

  • Focus by Daniel Goleman links closely to GLAS through its emphasis on awareness, attention and intentionality. GLAS encourages people to notice what is influencing their thoughts, emotions, decisions and behaviour, while Goleman highlights the importance of directing attention rather than allowing it to be constantly pulled by external demands. Both suggest that greater awareness creates the space to respond more intentionally.

    The three forms of focus Goleman explores also connect naturally with the GLAS Elements. Inner focus supports understanding identity, energy and emotional responses; focus on others connects with relationships, communication and connection; while outer focus encourages awareness of the wider environment, opportunities and systems influencing our decisions. Together, they provide a useful way of considering what we are paying attention to—and what we might be missing.

    Ultimately, both GLAS and Focus highlight that where we place our attention influences how we experience and respond to the world around us. Developing the ability to pause, notice, question and redirect our attention can create greater clarity, stronger relationships and more intentional action. In GLAS terms, focus becomes another way of moving from automatic reaction towards conscious choice.
