Episode #165 - Amy Edelstein

IPPY-award winner and #1 Amazon bestselling author, Amy Edelstein has a unique perspective on the relationship between the inner journey and outer change. Having begun her own meditation practice in 1978, and spending the better part of four decades practicing, studying, researching, writing about, and ultimately teaching a variety of contemplative methodologies, Edelstein established and directs the non-profit Inner Strength Education, which she founded in 2014. Inner Strength brings mindfulness, systems thinking, and social-emotional tools to under-resourced schools, training more than 17,000 teens in Philadelphia public high schools. She has now expanded the program's reach with her award-winning, trauma-informed free mindfulness app for teens, Inner Strength VIBE, available on GooglePlay and App Stores. Edelstein was awarded a Philadelphia Social Innovation Award for her organization's work in Violence Reduction. She is a Cornell University College scholar and the author of six books, including The Conscious Classroom.
