Maybe you need to see success to achieve it. Dr. Emily Balcentis, Professor of Social Psychology at NYU, whose TED Talk has surpassed 4 million views, explains the biology-brain connection between what you see and what you can actually get done, also known as Vision Science. In her recent book, "Clearer, Closer, Better: How Successful People See the World," Emily provides insights into how highly successful people tend to see the world differently and how their methods can be replicated. One of the tactics is narrowing your focus of attention.
