This recording of an interview that originally aired on National Public Radio in 2015 features Mirabai Bush, co-founder of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society (CMind) and author of Contemplative Practices in Higher Education. It traces Bush’s professional history, including her Catholic background, extensive travels introducing her to Buddhism, and efforts in the 1970s to bring Buddhism to the United States. An entrepreneur herself, Bush helped create Google’s Search Inside Yourself mindfulness program. She discusses CMind’s intellectual roots, as well as some simple mindfulness exercises popular with students.
