Dr. Husen Reads about Mindfulness and Self-Determination Theory from the Handbook of Minfulness

 Beginning about 2008 when I read Dr. Daniel Siegel's book entitled Mindsight, I have enjoyed the mental and stress reduction provided by mindfulness. 

Later, in my doctoral studies 2012 to 2014 I was impressed with the concept of intrinsic motivation and what has come to be called Self-Determination Theory. In the Handbook of Mindfulness there is an article which discusses the two and although I have read it before have forgotten what I read. I therefore produce my reading this morning to you and myself to be listened to later.
