Dr Gloria Mark is the author of "Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity". Last week's guest on the Mojo Sessions, Dr Mark talks about expanding our attention span, how we focus better, how we develop our power of observation, and how we are more in the moment and take agency over our attention. Fascinating conversation. Case in point of the power of attention and observation: The inventor of instant ramen noodles, Momofuku Ando, got the idea for his Cup Noodle when he witnessed the crowds lining up for ramen on the war-ravaged streets of Osaka in 1945. Decades later, he had finally perfected a technique for flash-frying noodles, making them both speedy to reheat and almost infinitely shelf-stable. Today, more than 121 billion servings of the quick noodles are eaten each year. How? A guy paid attention. Somebody had to notice what was going on. Somebody had to detach from the busy distracted world and see or hear an opportunity.
