The best things said about it
One of my favorite moments in your book, Peak Mind, it's on page 156, is this story about a, you know, service member and their wife.
She recently wrote a book called Peak Mind, and this is about her experience teaching this in the Armed Forces to help high-level military teams work better together, have higher performance, and lower stress, because obviously they're in a very stressful situation.

Why people recommend it
Peak Mind by Amishi Jha is a neuroscience-based book that explores how mindfulness and attention training can improve cognitive performance, reduce stress, and protect mental clarity. Dr. Charan Ranganath recommended the book during appearances on both The Rich Roll Podcast and the Lex Fridman Podcast, noting that his academic colleague Jha wrote the work to explain mindfulness as a practical method for improving focus and attention. On The Mel Robbins Podcast, host Mel Robbins referenced Dr. Jha's research from Peak Mind, noting how the author categorizes attention into three distinct neurological systems. Robbins also highlighted a specific narrative from page 156 of the book, which tells the story of a service member and his spouse navigating high-stress circumstances. Furthermore, Adam Coelho discussed the book on ChooseFI, emphasizing its practical application in high-stakes environments. Coelho noted that Jha wrote Peak Mind partly based on her experiences teaching attention-training protocols to the Armed Forces, helping elite military teams collaborate more effectively, enhance their operational performance, and successfully lower stress levels while facing demanding and hazardous professional situations.
