Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, on purpose, by conscious choice, and paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgment. Research has shown that mindfulness can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance focus and clarity. There is clear scientific evidence that mindfulness can enhance focus and clarity, improve physical and cognitive function, reduce stress, improve mood, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Through the practices of mindfulness, we learn from direct experience that all we have are moments. In this episode, we explore how through mindfulness we can train our attention and learn to better understand the impact of moments in the past, in the future and in the only moments we truly have now, . . . the present. More importantly, why you might choose to train your brain to reframe in this way.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
