Why should mindfulness and meditation be taught at universities? What impact could the establishment of such programs have on students and on the education system itself? Andreas de Bruin showcases the remarkable results of the first ten years of the Munich Model »Mindfulness and Meditation in a University Context« - a program started in the year 2010 in which 2000 students have already participated. Through meditation-journal entries featured in the book, students describe the effects of mindfulness and meditation on their studies and in their daily lives. In addition to an overview of cutting-edge research into mindfulness and meditation, along with in-depth analyses and explanations of key terms, the book also contains numerous practical exercises with instructions.

Neben einem Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung, vertiefenden Beiträgen und Erläuterungen wichtiger Begriffe aus der Achtsamkeits- und Meditationspraxis finden sich im Buch auch zahlreiche Übungen samt Anleitungen.
Sri Chinmoy is a spiritual Master who was an accomplished musician, sportsman, writer, artist and student of peace. His life was an effective demonstration of how to combine the inner depth and ancient wisdom of the East with the dynamism and modernity of the West.

In this volume, disciples of Sri Chinmoy from around the world tell their own individual and unique stories of how Sri Chinmoy came to be their Guru and continues to enrich their lives. It is a broad-ranging celebration of Sri Chinmoy's sunlit path - and gives a fascinating insight into the rich diversity of those who are following his path.
