Course Description
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 MaterialYou'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.

In this course, among others,there will be a particular emphasis onthe dual brain theory (backed by D.
