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. New York Times best-selling author Dr. Amishi Jha has spent decades studying how and why we get distracted and, perhaps most importantly, what we can do about it. In this interactive Q&A session, Dr. Jha will introduce simple practices anyone can do to sharpen attention and boost mood.
