For a book about improving attention, I feel this book lacks it. Within the first 30 minutes of the book the author makes it clear that many of us struggle with our attention. great! I'm interested. now what do we do about it? apparently listen to a bunch of stories that tell us we need to improve our attention. Sorry but this books needs to FOCUS on the actionables. we don't need to hear 50 different ways about how we have a problem, we're already reading this book so obviously we recognize that. in addition, many of the "successes" from the stories are vague and non-specific. The book doesn't even provide the key actionables until almost the very end and it feels rushed over and like a after thought. I really want to give this book 3.5 stars and not 3 but I can't justify 4. I think the author is very intelligent and there is real value in this book. but they need to focus on their proposed solution more and not reiterating the problem a bunch of times. "peak mind" felt like a marketing slogan and not a resourceful guide by the time I was finished. despite all this, I still would recommend it but as something to take a few key ideas from and then move on to other books focused on those ideas.
