The Agenda with Steve Paikin – Panel Discussion on Mindfulness and Mental Health

This week, I was invited to be part of The Agenda with Steve Paikin of TVO, for their show on Mindfulness and Mental Health. We were four panelist including Dan Harris, the ABC correspondent, who has embraced Mindfulness as a strategy to manage anxiety and in the process discovered a great deal more.   Also, on the Panel was Kelly McGonigal a psychologist with Stanford University, and Jeff Warren, a journalist in Toronto and author of Head Trip.

We discussed the impact of Mindfulness on our lives, on mental health, on ambition and professional success and much more, including a Harvard Medical School Study on Mindfulness, which Jeff and I participated in, a couple of years ago.  It is a positive thing that we can start having dialogue about the positive potential that Mindfulness can have on mental health, and how we can empower ourselves to make a difference in our lives.

I hope you enjoy it.  You can also follow the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.
