    Planting the Seed of a Growth Mindset

    Planting the Seed of a Growth Mindset

    Style Inspirations: Women and Jewellery

    Style Inspirations: Women and Jewellery

    What about the letters?

    Aneri Pattani writes, “Can teaching mindfulness through smartphones cure America’s loneliness problem?”  The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, involved 153 adults practicing 20-minute guided meditations on their phone each day for two weeks.
