REL 366 - History and Practice of Mindfulness

4 credits
Mindfulness – Everybody’s talking about it, from book clubs to business leaders to wellness gurus. What is it, and why is it prominent in American culture now? Investigate the cultural transformations of the theory and practice of mindfulness from its historical Buddhist roots to its popular currency today in the domains of wellness, neuroscience, education and business management. Key topics of critical exploration may include mindfulness as a discipline of body and mind, its promotion as a physical and ethical transformation, and its application to a wide variety of social fields to encourage context-specific creative breakthrough, decision-making acuity and enlightened behavior.
