Publisher's summary

National best seller

Stop for a moment.

Are you here right now?

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

Whether you’re simply browsing, talking to friends, or trying to stay focused in an important meeting, you can’t seem to manage to hang on to your attention. No matter how hard you try, you’re somewhere else. The consequence is that you miss out on 50 percent of your life — including the most important moments.

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.

Stay with me a little longer and soon you will be able to:

  • Focus without all the struggle.
  • Take back your attention from the pull of distraction.
  • And function at your peak, for all that truly matters in your life.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

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

I now have to purchase a hard copy

I've learned much. This author writes well, and the practice descriptions are easy to follow (not necessarily easy to do since it does take practice). This book is definitely one I'd like to have on my shelf. Excellent read.

Excellent book on mindfulness

I liked the practical and realistic application of mindfulness to daily life. I liked the focus on attention. As someone who has practiced mindfulness meditation for fifteen years, I found the recommended practices useful and the research behind it fascinating.

A Mindful Insight of Mine.

Amishi was correct. I can't even imagine coming away from this retaining even fifty percent of the material covered. Distractions everywhere! Beware! I think it's time for another read as I start the program. Looking forward to engaging with The Enhancement (the pdf). Contains a wealth of guidence for the journey into a Peak Mind!

Wish the meditation practices were narrated/guided

This audible would have flowed better if the details of the meditation practices for each of the weeks were narrated in a guided fashion versus saying week 1, flashlight, week 2, flashlight, etc. and then having to download the accompanied enhancement to read those details. Other than that, I found the background info on the research very interesting.

So much good in here!

I had listened to the author on Dr Brene Brown’s podcast and based on that conversation I immediately downloaded this audiobook. I will definitely be purchasing the print version so I can go back through and review, highlight, underline, and re-read the words over & over. I learned transcendental meditation 10 years ago and am on occasional meditator- even though I KNOW the benefits of it, i just don’t commit to the discipline. This book has taught me so much more about the way mindfulness works, and inspires me to make it a practice that will help me live in the chaotic space that I find myself in on the regular. So glad she did these studies and produced this book! This is such an important thing for everyone to learn and so simple to incorporate!! Highly recommend.
