Dr. Judson Brewer, MD PhD is the Director of Research at the Center for Mindfulness and associate professor in medicine and psychiatry at UMass Medical School. A psychiatrist and internationally known expert in mindfulness training for addictions, Brewer has developed and tested novel mindfulness programs for addictions. He started meditating on his first day of medical school in 1996 and has been under the guidance of Joseph Goldstein since 2008.
What if real resolve isn’t about trying harder? Jud Brewer explores adhiṭṭhāna—the Buddhist cultivation of resolve—and how curiosity, awareness, and clear seeing can create a steadiness far more powerful than willpower.
