Course Description

Regardless if you are a very focused or distracted person, this course will help you reach the next level.

We all have this inherent capacity to focus ... but at the same time, attention is a limited resource. Not only should we be aware of this, but treat it as such: something most valuable.

In this course we will be looking at our capacity to Focus from a whole variety of angles. From brain systems and neurochemicals, over the impact of survival instincts and emotions, to the different types of distractions we're facing. There will be a whole pallet of advice and insights, as well as tips, tricks and strategies presented to help you gain substantial improvement in your capacity to focus.

And we're not even speaking about the many experiments, and mind-twisting tests included in this course, which you will be subject to. We won't be talking about focus. You will be experimenting it for yourself.


Bonus Material

You're in for a treat. We've updated this already fantastic course, and added a whole section about the flow state. Thoroughly researched. Top notch.

And Flow. Aahh Flow... a personal favourite. This altered state of consciousness let's us tap into the subconscious resources our brain has at its disposal ... and yet... it seems so hard to get there... 

Well not anymore. We will be looking at the Flow state from the original flow state theory from Csickzentmichalyi back in the 70ies, to the latest neuroscience available. We will be looking at flow from different perspectives. What is it? How to recognize it? The difference with Focus. But most importantly, we'll share a five step process to reach this Flow state yourself.


What you'll find in the course:

This little gem, just as with all our other courses, has been thoroughly researched to bring you the best in brain insights. In this course, among others, there will be a particular emphasis on the dual brain theory (backed by D. Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner and one of world's leading psychologists), and Mihail Csickzentmihalyi, the pioneer when it comes to the Flow Theory.

The tests and experiments have been designed by leading experts in the field of psychology. So you don't have to worry about lasting damage done to your brain or mind ;)

After this course, you will be able to focus as never before. On top of the research and studies, I will be sharing my own experience, insights and strategies that have helped me significantly improve my own productivity and quality.

The course is packed with concrete tools, so you can apply this immediately in your own life: 

  • Improve your Focus - by applying a whole set of strategies

  • Find your Flow - by following a simple 5 steps process

  • Understand the mechanism driving Focus and Flow - by exploring theories and scientific studies

  • Explore why and how we loose our focus - by participating in mindbending tests and experiments

  • Create the right conditions - both internally and externally, to have your brain operate in optimal conditions and at full speed

  • And So Much More... such as multi-tasking, survival skills, network of neurons, ego depletion, dopamine, quality control, wine tasting, salsa dancing, and so on ... 

Just as the subject of this course, the content will be focused and to the point. Now regardless if you are a very focused or distracted person, this course will help you reach the next level. It's very hands-on and packed with tips and strategies that will benefit the novice as well as the more advanced.

I love the simplicity of breaking down the concept of focus. However, I expected greater in-depth exploration of the subject of flow which was my motivation to purchase the course. There is room for improvement of the content. This course is appropriate for beginners.

By H7Discord Wayne on 11/23/2020

I am enjoying this course so far learnt some things I didn't know about! Will give final review after once I finish. Update: 11/28/2020 This course was amazing! I really enjoyed it there were some things I had already knew I wouldn't say it was above my expectations since I knew a couple of things already he was teaching but I did learn some new things as well! I am going to try and apply everything he taught me in this course to my goals. I wish to step into the flow state more and more throughout my life but more than that I am glad to have learned more about it and that more info about it is still being discovered! Thank you Mr. Gregory for such a great course! I focused and slowly flowed through writing this review glad I purchased this.

By John Unholz on 11/19/2020

This is a hugely gratifying, valuable and useful course for recognizing what the flow state is and how to eliminate barriers and create pathways to it, rather than wait for it so seize us like some unpredictable weather system. It's time very well-spent and that includes the assignments/exercises where the real personal narrowing of flow as a concept occurs--I think doing this side things properly entails much more total time than the class outline states, BUT that's me presuming 'properly' proceeds apace for you with me. Anyway, TAKE THE CLASS!

Concis, prcis, direct. On ne nous prend pas pour des cons. C'est assez dense certains endroits. C'est bien structur. On en apprend toutes les minutes. Pas de musique ou de croquis stupides. Juste la bonne dose. Ambiance sombre. Enseignant intress qui communique sa passion du sujet.

Buenos temas

By Vassilia Efstathiadou on 10/24/2020

Since I've already taken a few courses with Gregory Caremans, I knew, I was going to enjoy it! The course is short, informative, entertaining and well "performed" .). However, unlike the other courses, here would be the direct implementation of what has been learned in order to reach a Flow State of Mind rather difficult for people with little experience.

The teacher really makes clear and complete sense in explaining focus and flow states - and how to understand and try to engage in these states. A really clear and helpful course.
