Meditation costs nothing and you can do it anytime and anywhere, and mindfulness is one of the easiest ways to improve your quality of life.

Do what you can: this is the basic philosophy of top neuroscientist Laureys. He joins geneticist turned Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard to explore the new science of meditation and consciousness.
