By enhancing our monotasking skills we can more deeply experience and benefit from the most fundamental activities of our lives. Thatcher Wine gifts us with the tools to rein in our distractibility, allowing us to more richly participate in all that we do. – Dr David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain and Brain WashThe Twelve Monotasks shows how we’re not fully living up to our potential when we multitask and offers practical steps for what we can do about it. Offering key learnings around important daily activities including sleeping, eating, and walking, Thatcher Wine explains the deep and profound need for monotasking and how mastering it can lead to a more present, healthier, and happier you. – Dr Frank Lipman, author of Better Sleep, Better YouCaptivating, informative, and beautifully written, The Twelve Monotasks is a potential game changer for how we can give more of our attention to the things that really do matter. Thatcher’s entrepreneurial and personal experience makes him the perfect guide to monotasking. It’s a book worth your time. – Nate Berkus, author of The Things That MatterLearning to ‘monotask’ will help us stay stress-free and far more productive. – YOU MagazineThis is an approach I’m sure many of us can get behind. – Metro
