О курсе

In a recent study of about 0.4 million individuals across 71 countries, it was found that close to 27 percent of people globally face mental health problems, and stress is said to be a major contributor to such problems. In India, the percentage is close to 30 percent. Surprisingly, more people in the UK, Australia, South Africa, and Brazil face mental distress than in India. This course is intended as a guide for individuals to manage themselves better, be emotionally stable, in touch with their inner selves, and be happy. Building on evidence from psychology and neuroscience, the course directly ties in with the immense need to help individuals build the capacity for harmony, emotional stability, and a sense of meaning in their lives. The course uses mindfulness as the fundamental building block of self-discovery and self-awareness. One of the unique aspects of this course is that it integrates ideas presented in research as well as the famous Indian wisdom storehouses such as the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga sutras, and the Dhammapada. The course aims to help participants learn lessons in the realms of values, self-management, health, emotional control, and authentic living – crucial elements of a happy and meaningful life.
