Your most valuable resource isn’t time—it’s your attention.
 
We’re living in a constant state of distraction, racing through life feeling hollow and disconnected—from our loved ones, our passions, even ourselves. The endless noise is numbing, and constant digital “connection” only deepens our isolation. We’re scrambling to keep up, but at what cost?
 
The truth is that your mind is wired for focus, and you have the power to take it back. In Finding Focus, renowned behavioral scientist Dr. Zelana Montminy tackles one of the most critical challenges of our time, unveiling a science-backed roadmap for reclaiming your attention—not to boost productivity, but to reconnect with what truly matters. This isn’t another set of quick-fix tips; it’s a radical shift in how you engage with the world. You’ll learn how to:
  • Unmask your “focus thieves,” the hidden forces stealing your attention
  • Rebuild mental clarity through nutrition, movement, and time in nature
  • Rediscover the grounding power of true human connection
  • Craft a personalized focus plan that fits seamlessly into daily life. 
  • Move from fragmented thoughts to sustained clarity
Finding Focus is your guide to reclaiming your mind in a world designed to exploit it. It’s for those who are ready to simplify and reconnect with their potential, and ultimately, ready to live fully. It’s an invitation to step off the treadmill of distraction, choose where you direct your attention, and shape a life that feels truly your own.

  • Finding Focus is an essential read for our distracted times. Focus begins with the body—how we eat, sleep and exercise—and Dr. Montminy translates the latest research into practical steps and simple behavioral changes that will empower you to reclaim your attention.” 
    Mark Hyman, MD, Author of the #1 New York Times best seller, Young Forever
  • “Zelana put her life's work into creating a comprehensive guide for better living, which is both engaging and enjoyable to read. Her advice covers key aspects of life, including nutrition, sleep, exercise, work, and, most importantly, maintaining focus in a world full of distractions. Her guide is practical and captivating—I read it in one sitting.”
    Ayelet Fishbach, PhD, Professor of Behavioral Science, author of Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from The Science of Motivation
  • “Filled with helpful applications and science-packed insights, this practical guide to improving our mental focus empowers us to create real changes in our daily lives that can improve our mental and physical health. Engaging and easy-to-understand-and-implement, the advice in Zelana Montminy’s exciting book provide key steps to enable us to take on the ever-changing challenges of our modern lives with a clear path to resilience.”  
     
    Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., Founder of Mindsight Institute and Whole Mind Catalyst, New York Times bestselling author of Aware; Personality and Wholeness in Therapy; and IntraConnected
  • "This book is brilliant. Without focus, we can't achieve our goals, or even worse, we set lower goals and achieve them but leave potential on the table. Dr. Zelana gives us the understanding and tools to focus and achieve the life of our dreams." 
    Ezra Frech, 2x Paralympic Gold Medalist
