Why Mindfulness Is A Superpower
Why Mindfulness Is A Superpower
Let's try this again. I shared this previously and the link did not work. Take Two! Dan Harris of Ten% Happier narrates this great animation that explains mindfulness in under 3 minutes. Dan had an anxiety attack on national television and it changed his life. Since, he has dedicated his work to practicing and understanding the benefits of mindfulness and meditation. I appreciate his no-nonsense approach. Hover over the image to the left or click the link below, both seem to be working. Enjoy!
