'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' – TED

Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.

In Hyperfocus, you will learn:

How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.

In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.

A useful book on productivity

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 19 December 2022

Verified Purchase

introduces a couple of novel ideas, my pick would be scatterfocus which is allowing the mind to wander while being vaguely conscious of the ideas that it ponders over. This is most useful while solving creative problems. A big chunk of the book is dedicated to various strategies for managing and reducing distractions.

Great Supplement to Deepwork!

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 6 March 2021

Why read this book? –
1. Helps you improve your productivity.
2. Tells you how to procrastinate effectively.
3. Explains how to be effectively entertained.
4. Acts as a great supplement to Cal Newport’s “DEEPWORK”.
The long version -
I picked up this wondering how it could provide me with more information that 'Deepwork' by Cal Newport, already hadn't. Well, I was wrong. Both the books may seem similar as they deal with focused work but, they're two completely different books, in fact they both complement each other in a very positive way.

There are some aspects, about 10%, about this book which I found are alike to Deepwork, but the rest of the book is very different. It picks up on the work of deepwork and expands it and provides simple systems for improving your productivity.

This book has various systems to improve productivity, to ascertain the importance of a task, and a very clever way to deal with distractions. The final chapters were very interesting as they talked about how to procrastinate effectively. The way we choose to be entertained also affects our productivity.

What's new in this book, is the principle of "Scatterfocus".
It explains the way to be creative and also enjoy 'Hyperfocused' work. I've come across this topic in "A mind for numbers" by Barbara Oakley. But that topic is expanded here. The book discusses about how we need both hyperfocus and scatterfocus to feel and be productive. The book also talks about how to be productive while being distracted.

There are quite a few studies mentioned, but they are not too many, just enough to make a valid point. The book describes various steps to up your productivity game and discusses how you should effectively spend your free time. It talks about how to procrastinate productively, a topic which is quite good to read about, as I'm the kind of a person who procrastinates a lot.

All in all, this book serves as a great supplement to "Deepwork" by Cal Newport. If you want to 10x your productivity game and focus, get these two books. That's all you need to be a focused “productivist”.

This is one of those books for me which Changed the way I think about life.

Scrolling social media is not your life.

And you have to make an effort to find meaning and purpose by working through it with the help of Hyperfocus, Scatterfocus and awareness of it.

ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING BOOKS I EVER READ!!

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 15 January 2022

Verified Purchase

I read this book page to page till the end and nothing seemed boring. Ever line in this book is interesting and gives us a new way of thinking. The writer has not only wrote tips and tricks, but also proved them through scientific explinations and experiments. Every things written in this book is really useful and reading this books gave me a new perspective of thinking. If I was asked to, I would surely recommend everyone to give this book a try.

The only reason I gave it four stars is that this book isn't an original book as the book is totally damaged and the words are misspelled at many points which is sometimes confusing.

If you are struggling with work/life balance this is a great book for you

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 October 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a book of two halves. The first half which concentrates on Hyperfocus is excellent. It is packed full of good thinking and practical tools that are very useful. In fact as a coach I have recommended this book to several of my clients. The second half of the book is about scatterfocus which is about developing innovative thinking. I didn't find this particularly engaging and there are much better authors on this topic. Nonetheless, the first part is so good, I would still recommend buying even if you did as I did - give up half-way through.

This book is genius and will improve the quality and speed up your work.

This is the book you didn't know you needed! This book really has changed my life. I was recommended it by a YouTuber and it did not disappoint. Chris has really nailed the concept of "hyper focus", which is really important in this modern age where we have become so unfocused by our mobile phones, work environments and just waist valuable time. It will teach you brilliant tactics for focusing on your tasks better and along the way is packed with many gems to help create a better focused life; implementing tactics such as meditation, mindfulness and how you use your technology.

This book can be helpful for anyone, wether you work in an office and feel overwhelmed by emails, or work at home and feel your mind wanders. This book will help you.

A really helpful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I got this book after all the good reviews in a bid to try and be more organised day-to-day and it's definitely worth the read. It goes into all the temptations that cause our mind to drift and whilst we probably all know what these are it's a good reminder. I like the tips on minimising distractions and I've been putting my phone on focus mode and putting it in the drawer, which definitely helps. I've even started meditating, which has also been a good help. The scatterfocus section is super helpful as well! My only criticism is that the flow seems slightly all over the place at times but overall it's worth a read

A very interesting and well researched book on two different ways to focus and be more productive.

Definitely worth reading if you have read Chris Bailey's other works as it dives deeper into focusing.

A must read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 February 2023

Verified Purchase

I work from home and often find myself distracted/interrupted by the ever growing technology that surrounds me, family members around the house and internal thoughts to name a few. This book does a wonderful job at introducing you to key physiological subjects and gives a number of suggestions on how you can tame your demons and control your attention, and thus your focus.

It includes quantifiable facts, to tell a more compelling story and is written in simple language, to help communicate a complex topic. I think it’s well worth the read and even more so, in the tech evolution that we are currently experiencing.
