Pushups for the Mind

Science-backed mindfulness training to strengthen your attention—built for everyone. Inspired by Dr. Amishi Jha's national bestseller Peak Mind. After 25 years of research and training with high-stakes groups, from elite athletes and first responders to special operations forces and healthcare teams, Pushups for the Mind delivers the tools to enhance cognitive fitness and strengthen your mind’s greatest asset: attention.

The app features 12 immersive audio lessons that bring the brain science of attention to life, guiding you step by step through foundational mindfulness practices. You’ll then build a mindfulness habit with the Ramp-Up feature and then dive into the 4-week Core Program—a structured, time-efficient training regimen designed to exercise your attention from every angle.

Whether you're a curious skeptic or someone who’s tried other mindfulness or meditation programs and found they didn’t quite resonate or required too much time, Pushups for the Mind offers a refreshingly practical, accessible, and science-backed approach to strengthening your attention for the demands of everyday life.

One purchase unlocks the complete training path for your attention. There are no ongoing subscription fees. This app puts privacy first with no identifiable data collected. Train anytime, anywhere, even with your phone in airplane mode—no connection needed to stay on track.


—Why Pushups for the Mind Stands Out—

While many mindfulness apps promote calming down, relaxing, or providing endless practice options, Pushups for the Mind offers something different: a clear, no-nonsense training path. This app isn’t about simply feeling good—it’s about building the mental resources and fortitude to meet critical moments head-on with clarity, focus, and steadiness when it matters most.

Pushups for the Mind is for anyone ready to achieve their full attentional capability—whether facing high-pressure environments, challenging life circumstances, or navigating the demands of today’s fast-paced, distracted world.
