A practical, evidence-based course on attention, emotion, and well-being with Professor Amanda Davis

This course introduces the core ideas behind mindfulness in Psychology and shows how they connect to everyday experience. Across short, focused lessons, you’ll examine how attention works, why the present moment matters, and how mindfulness can support clearer thinking and steadier emotional balance. The course is designed to be accessible, realistic, and grounded in scientific understanding.

You’ll also explore how mindfulness can help with stress, anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thought patterns such as rumination and worry. Through breathing practices, body awareness, loving-kindness, and compassion-based exercises, you’ll build a toolkit for working with emotion in a more intentional way. The course also covers communication, productivity, burnout prevention, and habit change, making it useful for both personal growth and daily performance.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to measure progress, think critically about the limits and risks of mindfulness, and create a sustainable practice that fits your life. By the end, you won’t just understand Mindfulness and Psychology more deeply—you’ll have practical skills to respond with greater calm, focus, and confidence in everyday situations.
