How to Think Like a Professional Athlete and Conquer The Art of Focused Work

Work has changed. What we once did with our backs, we now do with our brains. The problem: no one taught us how to make sense of this new kind of project-based, cognitively demanding work. Making matters worse: the torrent of distractions aimed at us every time we sit down to work.

Using the lens of his basketball career, Paul breaks down how to focus in spite of all this madness. His perspective: focus is the same whether you’re trying to write one good email or standing at the free throw line in front of 16,000 screaming basketball fans.

This talk is based around Paul’s newest book, The Art of Focused Work; it features plenty of humor, storytelling, and even video of Paul’s mom in the crowd, hoping he can make that free throw.
