#12 - How can mindfulness be used in complex situations? with Jamie Bristow

“We’re swamped with so much information, so cultivating the attention is key - the ability to focus on and actually retain information so as to really discern what is important.” – Anne-Louise Friedrichsen, Advisor at the Directorate-General for Human Resources and Security, European Commission “We are so focussed on digital stimuli that as a counterforce we have a growing need to look inside, and also to look to real and physical things such as nature. I think there is this growing fear that we are being alienated from our physical reality.” – Yoko Alendar, Member of the Estonian Parliament and chair of its Environment Committee. “I think mindfulness can help improve mutual understanding by creating space for considering any serious, intractable or complex situation, both logically and emotionally.” – Scott Brison, former Member of the Canadian Parliament and President of the Canadian Treasury Board
