She leads research there on the neural bases of attention and the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on cognition, emotion, resilience, and performance in education, corporate, elite sports, first-responder, and military contexts. Her first book, “Peak Mind: Find Your Focus, Own Your Attention, Invest 12 Minutes a Day” is coming out in October of 2021 from Harper Collins. In this conversation, Sharon and Amishi speak about three different modes of attention as they are outlined in Peak Mind, Amishi’s new book.
