A ground-breaking discussion paper from The Mindfulness Initiative, a world-leading policy institute that grew out of a training programme for politicians in the British Parliament and which clerks the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Mindfulness. The publication has been described as ''seminal'' and ''very important'' by social change experts. It lays out a new narrative and framework for understanding how mindfulness underpins intentional action and why it will be crucial for meeting the converging crises of the 21st Century.- -Humanity''s future may depend upon strengthening our agency.Multiple interconnected crises call for skilful response on a global scale - but our capacity for intentional action in our collective best interest is underdeveloped and increasingly undermined.This paper opens a dialogue on the contribution of evidence-based mindfulness training to individual and collective agency.Beyond a ''nice to have'' wellbeing benefit in the workplace or an alternative to prescription drugs, we''ll discuss how cultivating the innate capacity of mindfulness and its essential qualities such as attention regulation, receptivity, meta-cognition, cognitive flexibility, embodiment, emotion regulation and kindness could be foundational in responding to the complex challenges of the 21st Century.

A LOVE LETTER WRITTEN BY THE HEART TO THE MIND. What do you desire? And I don't mean where would you like to vacation this year or what would you like to have for dinner. What do you truly desire and what is essential for you to thrive? For so many, the definition of success and fulfilment is the one dictated by society, a one-size-fits-all dream. We perform for phantom spectators, exerting our precious energy to dance to the beat of someone else's drum without checking our own internal temperature. At this very moment, you might be fighting for something you actually have little appetite for. "Escape to Self" is a framework for breaking free from the hidden curriculum of life. It was written for anyone who feels stuck as if your life is not yours. It's an invitation to realise, accept and pursue your desires so you may escape to a life that's truly yours, free of social expectation or conformity. It is a prime read for anyone who longs to define their own life, doing away with traditional roles and what we are "supposed to" be striving for. It seeks to demonstrate that there very much is a box of collective desires and that living within it is not where we are best situated. "Escape to Self" is an ode to personal freedom that provides words and chapters for you to lean on as you embrace your own truth and pinpoint what it takes for you to feel proud of and take pleasure in your life. Pleasure is the food of the soul, and nothing is more pleasurable than being able to say you lived your life the way you needed to.
