“…However, further studies (with larger-sample controlled study designs) are undoubtedly needed, and should focus on addressing some of the questions that currently hamper the wide scale practice of mindfulness approaches in addiction treatments. 25 Moreover, it is still unclear what defines the mindfulness construct. 7,26,27 Finally, it is important to underline that there might be some risks, and adverse effects, of mindfulness-based interventions, that are aggravated due to a misunderstanding of what really constitutes an effective mindfulness training, routine, and teachings.…”

Mindfulness meditation has gradually been included into a variety of health care programs to address issues such as mental health problems, physical diseases and addictions. However, precisely how mindfulness works, for whom, and for how long are not exactly outlined. Recent studies have investigated the mechanisms of action of mindfulness-based interventions in the prevention of relapse for substance use disorders. Other line of research focused on the assessment of mechanisms of action (physiological, cognitive and psychological) to customize more effective treatments for addictions. The purpose of this review was to underline some of the most recent literature (mainly cross-sectional) on the effects of mindfulness-based interventions for different kinds of addictions, offering a reflection about some of the mechanisms and processes underlying such interventions. Even though some promising results, more researches are needed in order to entail large, longitudinal, well controlled studies that examine the intentions, psychological, behavioral, and physiological characteristics of addicts participating in mindfulness-based treatments, to define mechanisms of action and help further the capacity to design mindfulness interventions for most effective application.

“…Mindfulness was negatively related to anxiety, depression and had a negative effect in the case of managerial leaders, and to burnout in the case of entrepreneurs. Shonin et al (2014b) applied MAT training to 152 middle managers. MAT lead to the increase of work-related well-being and employer-rated job performance and to the decrease of work-related stress.…”

“…Studies suggest that current mindfulness research quite satisfactorily answers the issues related to work-related stress and other negative emotions (Hülsheger et al, 2013;Roche, Haar & Luthans 2014;Shonin et al, 2014b). However, the current state of art completely lacks empirical support for addressing the required development of adaptability and morality.…”

This paper focuses on the current state of art in mindfulness research on workplace and identi es some of the necessary steps and risks in the creation of mindful leadership theory. Mindfulness has the potential to e ectively address three topical organizational challenges of growing demands on adaptability, prevailing issues of work-related stress and the necessity to raise the moral level in organizations. Current studies seem to suitably respond to the issues of work-related stress; however, the challenges of adaptability and morality so far lack appropriate empirical validation. Lack of empirical support is also noticeable in the case of mindful leadership theory as most studies still focus solely on individual leader development. However, it is important to start to discuss the suitable core variables of mindful leadership now as a clear di erentiation from other leadership approaches like authentic leadership will be crucial for successful creation of mindful leadership theory. This paper also presents recommendations for entrepreneurs and managers willing to incorporate mindfulness into their organizational settings.

This article argues that the emerging project of contemplative science will be best served if it is informed by two perspectives. First, attention should be paid not only to non-analytical and/or mindfulness-based practices, but to a fuller range of contemplative practices, including analytical styles of meditation. Second, the issue of ethics must be addressed as a framework within which to understand contemplative practice: both theoretically in order to understand better the practices themselves and the traditions they come from, and practically in order to understand the ways in which contemplative practices are deployed in contemporary societies. The Tibetan Buddhist Lojong (blo sbyong) tradition and secularized practices derived from it, which are now an area of study in contemplative science, are examined as a kind of case study in order to make these two points and illustrate their importance and relevance for the future of this emerging field.
