Dr. Amishi Jha and I Discuss Peak Mind and Attention Training and...

Her book, Peak Mind: Find Your Focus, Own Your Attention, Invest 12 minutes a Day
Defining "peak mind" and the distinction between thinking and doing
The doing mode and being mode
The being mode is being observant and receptive to what is happening
Wisdom is both reflection and action
The different modes of the brain and their functions
How we prioritize information based on our goals that then guide how we interact with our mind and environment
How our attention itself isn't the problem, but rather how we monitor our attention that is problematic
The effectiveness of 12 minutes of a mindfulness practice every day
S.T.O.P. practice: Stop, Take a breathe, Observe, Proceed
Understanding our framework and how we can reframe and deframe our experiences
The problem with positive psychology tactics when you're depleted
How negative feelings or conflict is an opportunity to observe and course correct
The various microstates of the mind and their contingency on our next thoughts and actions
