Description

An acclaimed neuroscientist takes us on an eye-opening tour of the attention system—our hidden superpower that enables us to function at maximum mental capacity to achieve more, maintain healthier relationships, and be present and engaged, no matter how anxious or stressed our lives. From the constant pull of technology to the 24-hour news cycle to the overwhelming demands of work, our ability to concentrate is being strained as never before. We’re all suffering from a collective attention deficit disorder that is leaving us feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and anxious—yet unable to resist distractions like emails, Zoom calls, or new texts or notifications. Dr. Amishi Jha has dedicated her professional life to understanding the science of attention at every level—field testing soldiers, athletes, firefighters, judges, and executives to scientifically determine how we can harness our focus to be better at all life demands. She’s presented her research at international meetings, ranging from the World Economic Forum and the UK Parliament to the Pentagon, the National Institutes of Health, and NATO. We actually use 100% of our attention at every waking moment, but Dr. Jha has discovered that unless we create room in our minds through specific and targeted daily practice, we cannot control what captures our attention. We will continue to be vulnerable to every distraction, an experience she calls attention degradation. Peak Mind introduces the one cognitive training technique proven to improve attention
