Tired of being too busy but not productive? Sick of feeling overwhelmed and stressed out? Can't seem to find enough time to devote to either your work or your personal life? Attention Pays offers an antidote to the constant barrage of disruptions we find ourselves faced with. This extraordinary book shows how to unplug from the daily stressors that drive us crazy and plug into the tools, strategies, and mindsets that have the power to harness our attention and help us reach our highest potential.

Attention Pays shows how to be highly productive and achieve lasting work-life integration by putting the spotlight on the power of attention and absolute focus. The author discovered, through years of speaking, training, and coaching, that we are too consumed with multitasking and tuning out to hear what's being said. Our minds are so busy we fail to make genuine connections and enhance our existing relationships.

As the author explains, intention is what makes attention valuable. Intention involves seeing, hearing, and thinking about who is with you and what needs your focus right now. Attention Pays is all about intentionally investing your attention in what matters at the moment. . . the people you are talking to, the priorities you are acting on, and the passions you are pursuing.

No matter what your role--executive, leader, parent, business owner, coach--you can join the Attention Pays revolution by adopting the personal, professional, and global intentional attributes. Personally: Be thoughtful as an individual. Professionally: Be productive as an individual and leader. And Globally: Be responsible for your community and your world.

Attention Pays is your guidebook for becoming happier in your relationships, more fulfilled at work, and safer in the world you have created.

"The difference between success and failure is often the same as the difference between happiness and frustration: deciding to use intention. Neen makes it clear that our attention is too important to be frittered away merely because someone (or something) decided to grab it." --SETH GODIN, bestselling author of Linchpin
