Most academic or work-related problems are based on a lack of attention or concentration, and the technology of the world we live in has aggravated this problem: too many stimuli and short-term rewards, too many easy distractions, too much multitasking... Screens should not kidnap us, but rather be tools for information and learning, but there is still time: it is never too late to relearn what it means to be patient and acquire new attentional capacity.
Concentration is a skill that can be trained.
It is possible to refocus on a specific task by putting all our capacity into it in order to achieve excellence. Thanks to the keys and practical exercises in this book, we will work on impulsivity and learn to regulate our emotions, re-teaching our brain to motivate itself and focus on a goal without distractions. The result is worth the effort.

In the different stages of life, memory, processing speed and attention are not the same, but they can all be exercised with the practical activities, games and tests proposed in this book, in each of the thematic blocks:
1 The development of attention, its types and what are agnosias or disorders in sensory perception that hinder the processing of information, as well as a vital journey from early childhood to old age in terms of attentional development.
2 A study of concentration, its differences with attention, its types and the benefits that its development can bring us.
3 The importance of concentration in the learning process, addressing issues such as motivation, creativity and the emotional level, as well as the great evils of our time: technological hyperstimulation, multitasking and individualism.
4 The problems we encounter when concentrating, which can range from simple distraction to attention disorders, anxiety, stress, the consumption of harmful substances, depression and insomnia, among others.
5 Finally, the stimuli that we can use when we need extra concentration are discussed.
