The Focus Formula: Beat Distraction for Good review
A $17.99 ebook against distraction, credited to a second doctor of Focus Psychology.
Pass
This is the second of three focus titles in this batch, each with its own doctor of Focus Psychology, a field that does not exist. The contents are reasonable, especially the idea of changing the environment rather than relying on willpower, but they overlap with Focus Without Burnout and The Power of Focus. The promise to beat distraction for good is more than any habit guide can guarantee.

Environment and habits
The listing focuses on reducing interruptions and building daily habits.
Environment design is the strongest idea here.
Three focus books
The same seller offers two more focus titles with different doctors.
Buying more than one repeats the same ground.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Rebecca Sullivan with a PhD in Focus Psychology and 38 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 315700+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
