The Power of Unwavering Focus

By: Dandapani

Narrated by: Dandapani

The life you want is in reach, if only you can master the power of focus

Anxiety, stress, worry, and fear—these are the mental maladies that literally plague us, contributing not only to our growing unhappiness, but also to physical ailments such as heart disease and obesity when left unmanaged. As Hindu priest and renowned speaker Dandapani shows in this eye-opening and enriching new book, it is only through mastering one skill—the skill of focus—that we can permanently lay these mental roadblocks to rest.

Dandapani spent ten years in a cloistered monastery, learning invaluable lessons on the benefits of concentration. In THE POWER OF UNWAVERING FOCUS, Dandapani distills the wisdom he gained as a monk into a practical, step-by-step guide to understanding and harnessing the mind. With clear definitions and practicable exercises (such as making your bed every morning), Dandapani teaches readers how to move awareness within the mind with willpower, incrementally integrating the practice of focus into daily life, resulting in sustainable change.

Through his lectures and courses, Dandapani’s message of focus has already reached and helped millions overcome distraction. Now, THE POWER OF UNWAVERING FOCUS opens readers’ eyes to how practicing the skill of focus can drastically improve productivity, relationships, mental health, and happiness—ultimately gifting us the ability to direct awareness and energy toward achieving our life goals.

Love this book

I met the author retreat a few years ago, and he encouraged me on my health journey to focus on myself. He told me for the next 12 months to solely focus on myself, and have every decision based on me. Only then can I really understand and find true love I read this book going into this and knowing this.
I feel the author, connect deeply with its readers/listeners like myself. He makes me want to connect with myself on a deeper level. He has made me a better father after reading this book, and I focus on deeper connections and deeper value within my family and within myself. I feel this is made me a better person.

I highly recommend this book, and for anyone looking for a little bit of help on connecting with their self, I recommend this book.
