In disinformation, Volker Keetz’s work is described as an interesting reader. This description is very accurate. In nearly 300 pages, the author has collected a large number of instructive and unusual facts, but also anecdotes, curiosities, and small self-tests about focus – about how it developed, how you can maintain it and why it is necessary at all. Scattered flashbacks highlight what researchers used to think about the ability to focus and show that the fear of losing them is not a modern problem.
Keats chose an interesting approach for his book. Contrary to what one might expect from the subject, he is not concerned with the brain in the first place. Instead, the lawyer and psychologist take his readers on a journey through the entire human body – from the head with its sensory organs to the knees to the feet. It looks at all the important parts of the body one by one and relates them to the most diverse aspects of focus. For example, it deals with the phenomenon of knee shaking, which is usually associated with a lack of concentration, but actually leads to more balance and thus enhances the ability to focus. The connections provided are often surprising, but never random. Because of this unusual approach and short and varied chapters, the work is nothing but a dry textbook.
The author embeds the facts in a personal story that is presented in the book. In it, he talks about his experiences at a ten-day silent seminar at a Buddhist monastery in the Himalayas. about his inability to perform certain concentration tasks and the emotions that aroused in him.
