So who said it? None other than Captain James T. Kirk — or rather, the man famous for playing him, William Shatner. The quote comes from page 27 of Shatner’s new memoir, Shatner Rules: Your Guide to Understanding the Shatnerverse and the World At Large. There, the actor and author recounts an evening at his home with three names Mindful.org readers might well know: Marvin G. Belzer, Ph.D, Susan L. Smalley, Ph.D, and Diana Winston, three experts from UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, also known as MARC. Mindfulness meditation tunes you in to everything that’s going on at that very minute, deep in that universe inside you. And when you explore your inner universe, you connect more fully with the outer universe. Mindfulness, Shatner goes on to say, has been key to making the most of his busy days. You can read this and more in his book. Learn more about MARC here.
