Nearly everyone has significant goals they’d like to achieve but few can stay the course in a focused way to achieve success. Dave Lakhani says that the key to gaining this focus is in "the power of an hour." By changing the belief of what can be accomplished in an hour, readers will restructure their thinking around the possibility of the hour time block to achieve more focus and personal success. The Power of an Hour is broken down into single chapters or "focus areas" that the reader can implement over the course of a week,

covering one chapter a week for 20 weeks. Also included are stories, case studies, and powerful quotations that illustrate important points, along with a focus plan the reader can use for the upcoming week.
