CHAPTER ONE

FINDING FOCUS You are reading a wonderful book. Time drops away, you forget where you are sitting, you no longer hear the sounds around you. When you are totally absorbed in a great piece of writing, you are transported to another time and place—the words create a new reality, and you, the reader, inhabit another world. Not only do you see a kind of movie play out in your head as you read, but you also experience, with all your senses, another world. And that world is just as real and fully formed as this one.
