Can you guys recommend books that will teach me how to maintain full focus on one task for 8-10 hours straight? Book on pic. really convinced me it is the best way to work, but it didn't teach me how to do.

There is no modern bugman-esque technique, no self help book will enable you to focus on a matter for 10 hours etc. It's about interest and desire, the only reason why you will be unable to do it is because you don't want to, otherwise you would. If you are physically incapable of doing it then the adopt asceticism, or at the very least do away with all the stimulation afforded to us by modernity (digital media, Netflix and the like), it creates a new standard of dopamine levels, without which you won't be able to truly focus for long.

unironically just learn to meditate. after ten minutes of meditation you will be able to focus on anything

Whats the fucking point of that book then?
"hey guys, this book told that moving my legs really fast is the key to running but it didn't tell me how to do it"
