Description

This is a fan fav episode. When you are committed to hitting major goals, experiencing life on the next level, and showing up as a better version of yourself, being able to focus becomes a critical skill. Being able to give your full attention to what matters in the moment is necessary whether your focus is work or involves being present in a conversation. Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at University of Miami and author of the new book, Peak Mind: Find Your Focus, Own Your Attention, Invest 12 Minutes a Day. She is unpacking why your wandering mind isn’t as big a problem as you think, how memories are formed and stories are ultimately created and stitched together to create our version of reality. If you’re struggling with being distracted, the different types of practices Amishi shares will give you a place to start immediately!
