Peak Mind by Amishi Jha provides a comprehensive overview of the science of attention, debunking common assumptions and offering new insights into how attention works.

The book introduces three subsystems of attention: the flashlight, floodlight, and juggler.

It offers practical, flexible 12-minute-a-day exercises to lift mental fog, declutter the mind, and strengthen focus.

Drawing from research and personal experiences, including work with soldiers, firefighters, athletes, and professionals, Dr. Jha guides readers on how to train their brains to pay attention more effectively, helping them to function at their peak in all aspects of life.
