Description

Mindfulness in the High Performance World provides a unique approach to mindfulness training, built upon the principles of Buddhist philosophy written in line with the Dalai Lama’s description of meditation and mindfulness as “Science of the Mind.” This unique volume explores mindfulness as a learnable skill in context with the underpinnings of the teachings of Buddhism.

Written by authors who live and work in a high-stress, high-expectation world, this approach is rooted in an understanding that thoughts produce biochemical and physiological changes and provides a strategic framework to instruct an individual on how to categorize types of thoughts. After harnessing this ability, one is positioned to become both more aware of their thoughts as well as the specific patterns of sensations they produce, or Sentinel Sites℠. The awareness of what the mind is doing and the ability to interrupt a thought pattern and/or control the response leads one into having a much healthier and rich life, and relationships with others, and with their environments. Emphasizing the importance of physical activity and nutrition, the authors present a systematic approach for people who want to learn and incorporate mindfulness and transform how they live without having to divert their lives and careers.

Offering itself as an accessible and skill-based introduction to the principles, practices, and benefits of mindfulness, Mindfulness in the High Performance World is a useful resource for students, athletes and professionals living and working in high-performance, high-stress environments.
