For more than two decades, psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman has been scouting the leading edge of the human sciences for what's new, surprising, and important. In Focus, he delves into the science of attention in all its varieties, presenting a long overdue discussion of this little-noticed and under-rated mental asset that matters enormously for how we navigate life.

Goleman boils down attention research into a three parts: inner, other, and outer focus. Goleman shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus, as demonstrated by rich case studies from fields as diverse as competitive sports, education, the arts, and business. Those who excel rely on what Goleman calls Smart Practices such as mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental 'prosthetics' that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain excellence. Combining cutting-edge research with practical findings, Focus reveals what distinguishes experts from amateurs and stars from average performers.

Goleman appears to have the measure of his readers. In Focus, he cleverly employs short chapters littered with case studies to engage professionals swimming against a tide of electronic correspondence ... A highly readable manifesto for turning our smartphones off once in a while

From the best-selling author of Emotional Intelligence is this collection on attention, about our age of rampant distraction. Goleman says both focused attention and mind-wandering are necessary for well-balanced, insightful brains ... This is a riveting read

Focus certainly recounts some diverting anecdotes

Sure to provoke oodles of debate about declining attention spans in the young

Another one bites the dust!
Color: Octopus Purple & Blue
Good toy, but nothing spectacular. Took my 10 month old girl less than a day to kill the squeaker lol. Item is still intact meaning its not shredded but once squeaker dies she's pretty much done with it.

My dog's obsession
Color: Octopus Yellow & Green
My dog has been obsessed with these since he was a puppy. I started buying them in 6 packs. He chews is after each meal like dental floss and it's always soggy and gross. I keep an eye on the legs and throw it away when he begins to chew through them. One lasts him a couple months (80 pound Lab).

Great for treats
Color: Octopus Purple & Blue
We purchased this to keep our dog busy and engaged. He seems to enjoy it. We placed 1 or 2 treats in the tentacles and then loosely tie them. He can not untie them but can still manage to get the treats out. It amuses him for 10-12 minutes which is great. Only downside I can see is that the octopus is going to get grungy soon because of the treats and the treats and the constant licking to remove them. Not sure how it will washup but we will try. Very soft and decent squeaky sound.

Durable
My dog loves it. She takes it to  bed every night. It is sturdy, doesn’t seem like it will rip easily.  Why did you pick this product vs others?: Trying to replace a raccoon she got 4 year’s ago.  Squeak: Only squeaks when I squeeze it.

As with all stuffed toys, supervision is needed.
I have a 6 month old standard size Golden Doodle who has gone through several raccoon toys. He loves their tails and to make them squeak. He knows the word raccoon, so when the last one “died”, I had to get another. This one is well made and has a magnificent tail. It did not take long, however, for Marvin to amputate two of the raccoon’s feet and pull the stuffing out. Luckily, I was able to get it from him before he swallowed any, and was able to sew up the injuries and return it to him for another round of play. I do not expect more from a stuffed toy, but I do not leave my dog alone with one and accept that supervision is always necessary. This raccoon is charming and when it “dies” I will probably buy it again. Five stars!
