Headspace – Meditation and Mindfulness Made Simple
About Headspace
Its hard to talk about Headspace without talking about Andy Puddicombe. So lets start there. In his early twenties, Andy cut his Sports Science degree short to become a Buddhist monk. For over 10 years, his meditation training took him across the world to Nepal, India, Burma, Thailand, Australia and Russia. Eventually, he was ordained at a Tibetan monastery in the Indian Himalayas. After completing his monastic commitment, Andy returned to the UK with the huge-yet-simple goal of teaching meditation and mindfulness to as many people as possible. To demystify the mystical, Andy set up a meditation consultancy and began working with politicians, athletes (that sports science background finally came in handy), and business leaders. Thats when Andy met Rich Pierson, who needed help dealing with the stress of the advertising world. Before long, Andy and Rich were skill-swapping meditation for business advice. Thats when Headspace was born. Headspace has one mission: to improve the health and happiness of the world. And with millions of users in more than 190 countries, were well on our way. Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, we also have offices in San Francisco and London. |
