93. What's Essential: Dr. Amishi Jha on Protecting the Asset of Your Mind

Listen Later

Do you ever find that your mind always seems to drift from what you're doing now to something else no matter how hard you try?

Well, I have some welcome news. According to Dr. Amishi Jha, Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami and author of the new book PEAK MiND, there is nothing wrong with your brain. It was built to be distractable. 

In this episode, Dr. Jha shares how you can stop missing out on what's most important by training your brain to pay attention more effectively in just 12 minutes a day.
