    Anna Lännström is professor of philosophy at Stonehill College where she teaches Greek and Asian philosophy, ethics, and philosophy of religion as well as a learning community course which integrates yoga, mindfulness and Indian philosophy. Her writing focuses on the mindfulness movement.  Why are we all increasingly stressed, distracted and angry? Why do so many of us feel lonely; how can we connect better?  What role can mindfulness and self-examination play in reducing our suffering?  How can techniques like yoga and meditation from the Hindu and Buddhist traditions help us live better lives, and how do we address the ethical challenges involved in borrowing such techniques?
