Develop a Peak Mind

We can train our attention to improve brain power, mood, and performance—and we can do it in as little as 12 minutes a day

Interested? Living Well has teamed up with Dr. Amishi Jha to help you develop a Peak Mind. The resources below are open to everyone! No registration is required. Why not encourage your friends and family to join you?

What’s new?

How can paying attention increase energy and focus? Spoiler alert: it all takes practice, and practice can be hard to maintain. But in these two new webinars, Dr. Jha will teach you the mindfulness techniques that help increase performance in high stress, high stakes environments – and in everyday life.

Peak Mind: Dr. Amishi Jha on Sharpening Attention and Boosting Mood

When we’re trying to focus on a task, get a job done, or fully engage with the people in our lives, distraction becomes more than a challenge—it can impact our mood, making everything feel a little bit harder…and a little bit less joyful. In this Q&A session, Dr. Jha will introduce simple practices anyone can do to sharpen attention and boost mood.
