STOP FOR A MOMENT.

Are you here right now?

Is your focus on this page? 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.

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.

Wonderful easy to listen and understand

Great book love the author and the reader, she was very pleasant to listen to. Great information and easy to understand. Love it. Worth the c c

Looking to keep your mind focused

I enjoyed the fact that she talks about meditation in the way that can be applied easily. Meditating isn’t keeping your mind on one thing. It’s becoming comfortable with the fact that your mind is intended to wander and becoming comfortable with it and focus..

Accompanying PDF is found in the audible app

I first heard about Dr. Amishi Jha on a Ted Talk 4 years ago and thought her work was very interesting. I heard about this book after watching her interview on JRE. I’m still listening to the book and will update my review after I finish it.

For those looking for the accompanying PDF online, no need to search any further, I found it under the triple dot menu in the audible app while listening to the book.

The Most Practical Mindfulness Instructional

This is the most practical instruction in mindfulness I've ever read or listened to. It just clicks. It's hard to know how much time is necessary with most teachers simply giving you the vague "more is better" approach. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in how and WHY you should incorporate a mindfulness practice. Even a short 12 min per day is all you need and anyone can do that. I'll have to listen to this a couple more times as throughout I was reminded how little I was actually paying true attention as I was continuously made aware of how much the attention wanders, haha. I wish Amishi would have taken the time to read this herself but Xe Sands is an excellent narrator and is very engaged with the material. Go get it now and get a grip on that attention of yours!

Mind Inquiry

A book that clarifies the nature of awareness and provides a blueprint on how to be attentive in the present. A book that explains what meditation is about and how it may uncloak the mind’s potential. It does so without the frill of mysticism or religion or preconceived rituals.

Great combination of brain function and practical uses

This was a great explanation of how attention and why it gets hijacked, as well as some very practical strategies how to help improve attention.

Simplicity of mind focus

Book is real mind opener to how our Brian works and is something we all need to realize in min wandering

wonderful listen!!

I loved this book! I is the most clear and inspiring and practical discussion of meditation practice I have read. Thank you Dr. Jha!!
