“These days life seems stuck on fast forward, passing us by with breakneck speed. In their book Staying Focused in the Age of Distraction, the Hoffman’s provide a thought provoking and user-friendly guide for all of us who need to recapture the focus of our lives in a world filled with distractions. The authors put readers in touch with the wisdom of the scholars and mystics. Then they add a healthy dose of the best current clinical views on mindfulness and behavior change to create a helpful series of experiences and exercises that are easy to use. The strategies combined with the interesting and illustrative stories of people that readers will certainly recognize convinced me that by dedicating a few minutes a day we really can overcome the sense of being frazzled and overwhelmed by our daily lives and regain focus, health, and happiness.”
-- Carlo C. DiClemente, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
“With so much of the world trying to capture our attention, it is a major challenge to attend to what matters and tune out what doesn’t. Staying Focused in the Age of Distraction provides an inspirational and practical approach to changing, including a guide through the stages of change, so that we can become centered on that which matters most in our lives.”
--James O. Prochaska, Ph.D., professor of clinical health and psychology and director of the Cancer Prevention Research Center at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, RI
Staying Focused in the Age of Distraction goes beyond homilies and slogans, it used up to date research to give readers practical steps on how they can achieve meaningful change and improvement in their lives.
--Samuel Knapp, Ph.D., psychologist and author.
“Every once in a great while, a book is written that seems to be synchronized with our lifetime. Staying Focused in the Age of Distraction is such a book. This book will lead you on a path of awareness, discovery and hopefully, a meaningful life change. Some self-help books are neither helpful nor teach you much about your true self. This one does both.”
--Salvatore Cullari, Ph.D., author of Treatment Resistance: A Guide for Parishioners, Foundations of Clinical Psychology and Consulting and Psychotherapy: A Practical Guide for Students, Interns and New Professions.
“Your attention is a precious commodity and the competition for it is intense. Staying Focused in the Age of Distraction offers help to take charge and manage your attention. Its practical and inspiring approach to getting and staying clear and focused offers hope for more personal fulfillment. Let this be your workbook for positive change.”
--The Rev. Duane H. Fickeisen, parish minister of the Unitarian Universalists of the Cumberland Valley located in Boiling Springs, PA.
Staying Focused in the Age of Distraction is simultaneously inspirational and comforting. The authors gently guide the reader in a ‘go-at-your-own-pace’ fashion to answers that esolve that nagging question so many of us experience in this hustle and hurry life: ‘If everything is so great, why do I always feel like I’m missing something?’ Makek time to read this book and you’ll find answers of your own!”
--Sharon Hartman, LSW, MBA, director of professional training and education for the Caron Foundation.
