More About the Author

Jurgen Wolff is a writer and creativity and productivity coach. His books include "Focus: use the power of targeted thinking to get more done" (www.focusquick.com), "Creativity Now!" (www.jurgenwolff.com), "Your Writing Coach" (www.yourwritingcoach.com) "Do Something Different" and "Marketing for Entrepreneurs" (www.forentrepreneursbooks.com). "Focus" has become an international best-seller with seven foreign editions.

Jurgen has written more than 100 episodes of TV including "Relic Hunter," "Benson," "Family Ties" and the animated series he created, "Norman Normal." He also wrote the film, "The Real Howard Spitz," starring Kelsey Grammer, the mini-series "Midnight Man," starring Rob Lowe and TV movies featuring the Olson Twins, Walter Matthau and others. His plays, including "Killing Mother" and "Living Skills," have been produced in London, New York, Berlin and Los Angeles.

He teaches writing, creativity and productivity courses internationally and recently established the Breakthrough Strategy Program, an online coaching program that helps participants achieve their creative goals. He says, "What makes this program different is that it uses right-brain methods to create a safe space in which people can let their creativity soar and create what only they can create. Too many people let fear and procrastination stop them and my goal is to help them overcome those blocks."

Jurgen has degrees from Stanford University and California State University at San Francisco and has taught at the University of Southern California as well as privately in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, South Africa and many others. He is an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioner and a certified hypnotherapist. He has produced a CD of guided visualizations called 'Power Trances.'

This review is from: Focus: The Power of Targeted Thinking (Paperback)

I was given this book by a friend and as I was going through the pages I realized that this is one of the best books in the areas of time management, and personal development in general.

All of us are always being distracted in our daily lives, whether it be ads, tv, email... and much more. Jurgen Wolff provides practical strategies to actually eliminate distractions, and focus on the activities that produce results, happiness and satisfaction in any area of our lives.

Both my brother and I have read this and we love it. It is written with clarity and in a way that is easy to understand and implement.
