Mindfulness as a Strategy to Weather Challenges

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    This chapter considers physiological, sociological, and positive psychological research to help readers better understand historic and contemporary studies that also feed into business management and leadership disciplines. The backstory to these evolutionary theories will help readers rationalize and position Mindfulness, which is still a fairy nascent area for academic enquiry, undoubtedly involves a more multidisciplinary approach. The author hopes that by appreciating extant literature in ancillary but disparate areas, readers will be able to see that Mindfulness is a logical answer for leaders faced with coping with endless challenges and understand why the movement is currently led by written accounts in books and not by academic publications at this stage.
