Embracing mindfulness is something that Dr. Mark Ashton Smith has looked at from how it can impact the brain.

Talking and learning about the mind is what Dr. Smith does for a living. He earned a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience from the Center for The Neutral Processes of Cognition in Pittsburgh. His website, IQMindware.com, provides apps, courses, and coaching for IQ, attention, and cognitive resilience.

Dr. Smith has studied and seen the effects of mindfulness practices on athletes and people in general. He talks about his work and observations on this episode of Soul Talk: Tapping Into The Zone.
