Ep08. In this episode of Happiness, A Sceptics Guide your hosts Dr Gary Wood and Paul Flower tackle the subject of mindfulness. What is it, and can it make us happier? What are the benefits of paying attention 'on purpose', in a non-judgemental way? Not always as easy as it sounds - even in a 20-minute podcast. Should mindfulness (and happiness) be about liberation from conditioning or adjustment to conditioning? 

The episode features a chainsaw. Surely, that's got to be a first for a mindfulness podcast.

Based on Gary's book 'The Psychology of Wellbeing' (published by Routledge. See here for the UK, or here for the US.
