Show Notes
My guest today is Steve Haberlin, PhD. Steve is a researcher and academic who has studied mindfulness and meditation in higher education settings for the past decade. As an assistant professor in the College of Community Innovation & Education at the University of Central Florida, he currently researches meditation practices with undergraduates. Steve’s most recent book is called Meditation in the College Classroom, which we discuss in this episode.
Some of the topics we explore include:
- How Steve first got into meditation and mindfulness
- The benefits of meditation on unhelpful mind wandering
- Why only a small percentage of people regularly meditate
- Some nuances using meditation in a clinical setting
- What led Steve to research meditation in the college classroom
- The need for education systems to focus on the development of a whole person
- And how teachers to start integrating meditation into the classroom
