Episode description as stored
Our guest today is someone who doesn’t just write about productivity; he lives and experiments with it. Chris Bailey is the bestselling author behind The Productivity Project, Hyperfocus, and most recently, Calm Your Mind. You may have seen Chris’s TED Talk called How to Get Your Brain to Focus , It went viral and has 18 million views. Through immersive self-experiments, research synthesis, and efficient insights, Chris has helped millions of people rethink how they use their time, attention, and energy. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, TED Talks, and beyond. He has a way of making the abstract concepts of focus and attention tangible, achievable, and relatable. Today, we’re diving deep into what it means to make sense of focus in a hyperstimulated world. Welcome to the show, Chris Bailey.
On a personal note, what i love most about Chris is that he is a super cool guy that doesn't know he's famous. Like a guy you could have drinks with and make fun of people.
