Les Fehmi – Open Focus Program

Your attention shapes your health, emotions, and performance.

In The Open-Focus Brain, clinical psychologist and researcher Dr. Les Fehmi reveals a powerful yet often overlooked factor behind stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue: the way we focus our attention.

According to Dr. Fehmi, many people spend most of their lives locked into narrow-focus attention—a tight, effortful mode of awareness that keeps the nervous system in a constant state of tension. While useful for short bursts of concentration, prolonged narrow focus can contribute to chronic stress, emotional imbalance, anxiety, depression, and even stress-related physical pain.

This book offers an alternative.

The Open-Focus Approach

Dr. Fehmi introduces Open Focus, a relaxed and expansive form of attention that allows the mind and body to self-regulate more naturally. Instead of forcing concentration, open focus encourages awareness of space, sensations, and multiple inputs at once—creating a state of calm alertness rather than mental strain.

When practiced regularly, open-focus attention can:

Reduce stress and emotional reactivity

Support mental clarity and creative thinking

Improve physical comfort and relaxation

Enhance performance in work, learning, and daily life

Practical, Accessible, and Science-Based

The Open-Focus Brain is written for both general readers and professionals. Complex neuroscience concepts are translated into clear, easy-to-understand language, making the material approachable without sacrificing scientific depth.

Throughout the book, readers are guided through simple attention-shifting exercises designed to help them experience open focus directly. These practices require no special equipment, no prior meditation experience, and can be used in everyday situations—from work and study to relaxation and recovery.

The book is accompanied by an audio CD with guided open-focus exercises, allowing readers to practice alongside Dr. Fehmi and deepen their experience through direct instruction.

Healing, Performance, and Deeper Experience

Rather than offering quick fixes, The Open-Focus Brain provides tools for lasting change. By learning how to shift attention styles, readers gain greater control over stress responses and open the door to richer sensory awareness and emotional balance.

Many readers report:

A greater sense of ease and presence

Reduced anxiety and mental overload

Improved focus without tension

Enhanced creativity and problem-solving
