Suffering isn’t new - but mindfulness can help.

Joining to uncover the reasons and remedies for rising stress levels in young people, is Dr Eric Loucks.

Professor, researcher and pioneer in the study of mindfulness and health, Eric recently authored The Mindful College Student - based on work that sees him teach and study the impact of introducing mindfulness to year groups who are still in cognitive development!

Our discussion today picks apart the challenges of his research, the importance of the prefrontal cortex and why ‘meditation isn’t always for everyone’. ------
