What an incredible honour it was to spend time with one of the leading figures in Mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn. His Mindfulness course (MBSR) is being taught all over the globe and his books on Mindfulness have been bestsellers since the 70's. Given that Anh and I have become so passionate about meditation and particularly Mindfulness, we were thrilled to have a back and forth conversation with Jon and really get to discuss the subjects that are important to us. We talk about the pros and cons of social media, how we found out about Jon's incredible work, the AFH course and the Philosophy of Mindfulness. This is definately a canditate for podcast of the year.

On this episode, we speak to the Action for Happiness Director, Mark Williamson. Mark joins me at the Renaissance Podcast studios and talks about his personal journey, his corporate background, Mindfulness and his introduction to Lord Layard that led him to this incredible charity. Mark breaks down what Action for Happiness is, it's mission, the courses, the goals, and also reflects on the results and success so far.
Mark has become a very good friend to both Anh and I, and has played a big role in taking our podcast to the next level. He leads by example and is dedicating his life to leading the AFH charge and being the change in the world that he wishes to see.
