Mindfulness Versus Meditation: Why You Need Both to Combat Stress

My guest today is Emily Fletcher the founder of Ziva Meditation and best-selling author of Stress Less, Accomplish More: Meditation for Extraordinary Performance which has around 1,300 reviews on Amazon. Emily used to be an actor on Broadway but the stress and intensity of the job caught up to her. She wasn’t sleeping, her hair was turning gray, and she was getting sick all of the time and she was only in her 20’s! For over the past 15 years Emily has been teaching over 50,000 people around the world how to meditate so that they can reach their full potential and live happy lives. In our discussion you will learn the science behind meditation and what it actually does to the brain and body, the difference between mindfulness and meditation, where stress and anxiety come from and the impact they have on your well-being, and the tangible results that meditation can have on your life, both at work and at home. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
