You can build your capacity for attention and focus, just like you build your muscles. Today's guest Dr. Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami and is the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience for the Mindfulness Research and Practice Initiative, which she co-founded in 2010. Her work has been featured at NATO, the World Economic Forum, and The Pentagon. She joins Joe De Sena, founder & CEO of Spartan, to explain how you can use simple focus exercises, like push ups for the brain, to strengthen your attention, focus, and mental resilience.
