Artfully Mindful

In this podcast, I talk about mindfulness as it relates to competitiveness. While I do focus on topics of specific importance to mindfulness teachers, anyone interested in mindfulness can get something out of this talk. I discuss some of the benefits of competition, as well as the pitfalls. I also draw from Thich Nhat Hanh's ideas about this topic in an attempt to shed some light on how we can be more mindful and collaborative in a competitive society that often puts a priority on competitive dominance.

In this podcast, I introduce myself and talk about a topic of special importance to me: happiness. Specifically, attitudes and approaches that have led me, more often than not, to a greater sense of happiness.  One thing I'm happy about is that I recently completed my certification as a mindfulness meditation teacher.  I'd like to share that experience with you and hope you can benefit from my musings about topics related to mindfulness and life in general.
