Introduction to Mindfulness

The Mindfulness Center at Brown University works with the renowned school of public health, in conjunction with the medical school to continue to research the applications of Mindfulness. According to the World Health Organization, the average person spends 90,000 hours, 1/3 of their life, at work. Employers are thus uniquely positioned to both benefit from and provide the tools and strategies necessary for individual and organizational effectiveness and well-being. The Mindfulness Center at Brown is known for rigorous research and the highest quality of mindfulness instruction. The faculty and researchers are leaders in the field of neuroscience and mindfulness, as well as on behavior change and the impact of mindfulness-based trainings on stress, resilience, cognitive processing and positive lifestyle change.
