According to an American Psychiatric Association poll, 39 percent of Americans said they were more anxious in 2018 than they were the previous year. Mindfulness training has emerged as a popular method to address anxiety and stress – both at work and at home.
This hour, we discuss one approach to mindfulness – Buddhist meditation – with two teachers. They share meditation techniques and talk about why they think this approach to mindfulness can be effective in responding to life’s challenges. In studio:
- Tim Burkett, co-guiding teacher at Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, retired CEO of People Incorporated, and author of “Zen in the Age of Anxiety: Wisdom for Navigating our Daily Lives”
