Center Founder Richard Davidson discusses the importance of being mindful, especially in the workplace, and how happiness is a skill that can be continually developed.
"I talk about happiness as a skill. It's actually something that can be cultivated. Everything we've learned about the brain suggests it's no different than learning the violin... if you practice, you'll get better at it."
Richard Davidson
