My productivity and focus series

The book is a great book for productivity and a very good book for me in my randomly selected series of books that takes focus, productivity, talent and deep practice to a new meaning for me.

I have started this series with the best book about Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity:

The Brain That Changes Itself.

Then I came across the book I have been recommended by Tony Robbins

The Talent Code: Greatness is not Born, Its Grown and Here is How

Then I knew the concept of Flow as a psychological state of mind. And I will read the book that adds to my series.

And I came to the Book

The Power of Now

Which highlights the importance of feeling and living in the instantaneous moment of Now.

And then I stumbled upon the book from which I learned how to use my memory as a perfect way to improve it using advice from the world memory athletes champions,

Moonwalking with Einstein

And now that book

Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

I hope you read it.

I had many useful insights and information from such series. I'm trying to read as much as I can of those similar books.

My next step is a project in which I can compile the knowledge I got from all these books into one of my own.

I will make it soon. Sure I have to make a deadline for it to make it real.

Thank you for reading...
