Focus in Five with Curt Steinhorst

The Harvard professor who can't focus alone

Welcome back to another Focus Break with Curt Steinhorst. We usually think focus happens when we're alone in a quiet space – but social psychology tells us that's not always true. In this week's episode, I recap a conversation with Dr. Peter Blair – a dear friend, economist, and Harvard professor – about his unconventional strategy for finding focus.
