Mindfulness: The Most Important Skill to Master in the Modern World
This detailed overview of mindfulness begins with a brief timeline, tracing its origins to its integration into Western society today. Considering that humans have an estimated average of 6,200 thoughts per day, the discussion then shifts to the detrimental effects of mind-wandering on our subjective experience and perceived levels of happiness. This is followed by a deep exploration of mindfulness practices, leading to the inevitable realisation of the self's illusionary nature. The concept of the illusion of self is examined, alongside its connections to the Buddhist notion of enlightenment, states of flow, and the experience of awe.
