Just as we can improve our physical health with regular exercise, we can improve our emotional well-being with a training program for the mind.
During this Wisconsin Idea Spotlight presentation, Human Flourishing and the Mind-Body Connection, a panel of UW–Madison experts discussed current research in mindfulness and integrative health, as well as tips and tools participants can include in their daily lives for sustained better health.
