Here are some key quotes:
"A report published this week analysing data from 47 clinical trials involving 3,000 participants suggests that mindfulness, a meditation technique aimed at focusing the mind on the present moment, produces measurable improvements of up to 20% in symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to people who practise another activity, and can also help alleviate feelings of stress and enhance quality of life.
[...]
In recent years, organisations as varied as the US Army, Google, Transport for London, PWC and the Home Office have started offering mindfulness training for employees; increasing numbers of schools are incorporating it into the curriculum for 13- and 14-year-olds.
[...]
There are, needless to say, a myriad courses available to help, including online and even apps. And most of those who who do it, swear by it."
