Sapience Episode 11: An exploration of mindfulness in context of economics, Leadership and culture

Prof. Surya Tahora is in conversation with Dr. Knut O.J. Ims, Professor emeritus in business ethics at the Norwegian School of Economics and Hege Tuen Seglem, Founder of Being Mindful. In this talk they discuss how mindfulness, defined by Jon Kabat-Zinn as purposeful, present, and non-judgmental awareness, can address interconnected systemic crises in the Anthropocene, such as environmental, social, and economic challenges. It argues that mindfulness can foster conscious, value-driven choices, breaking habitual behaviors to promote sustainability and deeper connections with nature, others, and oneself.
