What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you.

Change comes most readily when you understand what's standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that roadblock. If you want to work out more but find exercise difficult and boring, downloading a goal-setting app probably won't help. But what if, instead, you transformed your workouts so they became a source of pleasure instead of a chore? Turning an uphill battle into a downhill one is the key to success.

We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: The accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt.

We live, say Edgar and Peter Schein, in a culture of “tell". All too often we tell others what we think they need to know or should do. But whether we are leading or following, what matters most is we get to the truth. We have to develop a commitment to sharing vital facts and identifying faulty assumptions - it can mean the difference between success and failure. This is why we need Humble Inquiry more than ever.

In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.

When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

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!

I have read over a 1000 books, studies, and article’s on personal performance and success related topics. Peak Mind by Amish P. Jha, ranks up on top as a advance evidence based contribution to the field. If you’re looking for a way to get the most out of your brain, study this book.

slow and boring
when I watched her interview on Joe Rogan she was so passionate, it was easy to be intrigued with her study. This book has a lot of back story and does not hold my attention at all. instead it is somehow making me angry. which is saying something because I'm usually extremely mellow. I read many books and hardly ever leave reviews, especially unfavorable ones.

Very enlightening with helpful exercises, thanks!
This work is pure genius. I'm really glad I found out about this book from listening to a Joe Rogan podcast episode with Amishi which got me interested in learning more. I think it’s helpful for addressing the root issues for difficulties and lack of true growth with meditation, focus, awareness, and overall mental well-being.
A lot of works will hype up and convince people of methods for self-improvement but lack the actual research to back it up in the real world with regards to all people consistently. This is not one of them as it actually delves into all of the legitimate research done and evidence for the improvements one can expect to gain from the knowledge in this book.
The author successfully reintroduces, improves upon, and proves the effectiveness of ancient holistic practices combined with; and in addition to, those of the modern age and new ones invented by the author for not just improving one’s mind but also for living a better, more enlightened life.

Less story time and more personal technique training
The book has good intentions to create mindful thinking techniques, but as a listener, you can get easily distracted by the long stories provided by the author, Amishi P. Jha.
This book can easily be cut in half if a large majority of these army training stories were either shortened or completely eliminated.
Expected more from this book in terms of mindful techniques but may appeal to some audiences more than others.
