The Role of Mindfulness in Emotional Resilience
Mindfulness is presented as a crucial skill for managing emotions and staying present. The key phrase is 'Mindfulness as a life skill.' Harris explains that mindfulness helps in 'unhooking' from unhelpful thoughts and emotions, allowing individuals to focus on what truly matters. A quote that illustrates this is, 'The power to act exists only in this moment. The past has already happened, and the future doesn’t exist yet.'
