About this listen

Stop for a moment. Are you here right now?

Is your focus on the words in front of you? Or is it roaming elsewhere, to the past or future, to a worry, to your to-do list, or to your phone?

The good news: there's nothing wrong with you - your brain isn't broken. The human brain was built to be distractible.

The even better news: you can train your brain to pay attention more effectively.

Acclaimed neuroscientist Dr Amishi Jha has dedicated her life's work to understanding the science of attention at every level - from brain-imaging studies in the lab to field testing soldiers, firefighters and athletes. Her mission has been to scientifically determine how we can harness the full power of our attention to better meet all that life demands. In Peak Mind, Dr Jha expertly guides listeners through fascinating research, debunking common assumptions about focus and attention, and offers remarkably easy-to-adapt flexible 12-minute-a-day exercises to lift the mental fog, declutter the mind and strengthen focus so that you can experience more of your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The writer does an excellent job of explaining the science and practical aspects of mindfulness. Exercises are also given and clearly explained. A great introduction for beginners and lots of helpful information for those already on the path.

An excellent guide

I have been practicing mindfulness meditation for nearly a year & came to this book through an interview with the author on the Waking Up app. This book offers an evidence based overview of the science of attention & some useful mental models for the reader to apply. Essential listening for those seeking to become more attuned to lo living in the present moment and understanding their own minds better.

Wonderful

Fantastic and actionable; incredible narration. It’s a very practical and the narration/voice really brings the humor, light touch, and playfulness of the book alive. Talks about mindfulness, much less research, can sound so serious—this was different.

The link between neuroscience research and practical advice is always there. This book goes on depth into the research, but with application as the goal.

The militarism part—while the author tries to square it with her values—is the most tedious part. It’s very American centric here. And a bit jarring.

Deep and actionable; incredible narration

A really interesting and informative book, I will be putting the exercises in to practice!
While the narrator does a great job, it's a shame the author didn't read this herself.

Love it!

No, if you've already read a few books on mindfulness, you won't find anything new here. But what there is, is very well-written, relatable and actionable. And last but not least, the narration is excellent.

Solid info, great narration.
