Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D., Creator & Guide | Mayo Clinic Human Optimization Project


Guest: Maneesh Goyal, Chief Operating Officer | Mayo Clinic Platform


In our world of constant stimulation and distraction, the ability to focus deeply is becoming a lost art. Although it may be more challenging to focus these days, this doesn’t mean that it’s less important. In fact, being able to focus on the task at hand is one of the most critical skills needed for success. If you can master your ability to focus, it can be an absolute game changer for you in our modern society that struggles so much with this. Our expert guest today is Maneesh Goyal, COO of Mayo Clinic Platform.


 


The three big questions we have for Maneesh are: 


1. What is focus and why is it so important for our productivity and joy?


2. Why do we all seem to struggle to focus in today’s world?


3. What concrete steps can we take to improve our focus in our world of constant interruption?
