The Science of Mindfulness:
A Research-Based Path to Well-Being
Course no. 9303 | 24 lectures (30 minutes/lecture)
Meld Ancient Wisdom
with Modern Science
Many problems that we face—such as depression, compulsive and
addictive behaviors, chronic pain, and stress and anxiety— stem from
the human brain’s hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain.
For thousands of years, people have used mindfulness practices to deal
effectively with life challenges such as these. And we are now in the midst
of an explosion of scientific research, demonstrating that mindfulness
practice changes the function and structure of the brain.
In these 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Ronald D. Siegel, a clinical
psychologist at Harvard Medical School, reveals the science behind
mindfulness in compelling detail, and demonstrates its application to a
wide range of issues—psychological, social, and medical. Learn how these
techniques can radically transform the mind, the heart, and the experience
of everyday life—joining ancient wisdom practices and scientific
methodology in forging new possibilities for living.
