I like the Harvard Business Review series even though it is a little expensive ;-) Recently during one of my travels i picked up this one titled 'Bringing your whole self to work'. It is a collection of eight articles falling under the umbrella of improving your effectiveness at work. Most of the concepts discussed apart from the scientific terminologies might seem like common knowledge, but then who said we follow our common sense ;)I liked all the articles and especially the one on "Making of a corporate athlete" where the four layers - Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual of a person is discussed. And i found the exercise of mapping this to the day to day proceedings extremely interesting. I think layering our activities on this basis and then carrying it out with discipline will make a lot of difference.
One of the other articles talks about ADT (Attention Deficit Trait) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), their causes and symptoms. There are even some high level remedies that are offered. I do not mention the rest of topics simply for the reason that i dont have the patience now :) So do yourself a favor, add this one to your reading list - live life to your fullest!!
