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.
Andreas de Bruin (Prof. Dr. ) is the founder and head of the Munich Model "Mindfulness and Meditation at University" - one of the first programs in Europe to offer university classes in mindfulness and meditation for educational credits (ECTS). In addition to the regular courses, he also runs projects for (former) students, teaching staff, and university employees. To share his experiences, de Bruin works closely with other universities in Germany and abroad. De Bruin' s main fields of research and teaching are mindfulness and meditation, in particular the effects of these practices on the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social levels. He started his own meditation practice in 1991.
