Show Notes:

Interview with Dr. David Creswell - The William S Dietrich II Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.  David is the Chief Scientist of Equa Health - a mindfulness coaching app.

• David shares what initially drew him to be interested in the Science of Mindfulness.  He also talks about his own love of golf and other competitive sports - and some of the ways he applies his knowledge about Mindfulness to help him compete at a high level.
• He shares his personal definition of Mindfulness, and also of Equanimity - and how these can be valuable to athletes and everyone who wants to develop more Resilience in their lives.
• David, Julianna Raye, and Mathew Polowitz a few years ago realized that a true mindfulness coaching app did not exist.  David discusses the initial efforts to start to create the Equa Health mindfulness app.
• "See Hear Feel" - "Concentration Clarity Equanimity" - "Microhits" - David discusses the role that these all play in helping people to effectively use the Equa Health app.
• Equa Health was first released in 2022.  It has come a LONG way since then. David talks about the role of AI, and also a new addition being tested - measuring respiration rates during a session using your smart phone - in the continued development of Equa Health.
• He shares some Final Words about how listeners can dive into using Equa Health - and how listeners can in general apply Mindfulness to improve their Resilience and Performance.
