Journal article and Ted Talks video recommendation
Hi there,

I have found a relevant peer-reviewed journal article that may be able to help you. It can be found by clicking on this link and signing in via your UC institution login. I have also found a highly relevant Ted Talks presentation video that can be found by clicking on this link. These two sources provide in-depth information on the relationship between mindfulness and creativity which can be helpful for developing your book chapter. --Vertese (discuss • contribs) 03:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Section - Theoretical framework of mindfulness
Hi there,

It looks like this section of your chapter has nothing in it so far, and because there is a need to discuss theory in the chapter it will be important to have this section well written. I'm not sure how far you have gotten with this and I apologise if this is already going over things you are currently writing, but I hope this is helpful in some way nonetheless.

As a note, all links to references can be accessed via APAPsyArticles, logging in via the UC Library databases.

One place to consider starting at is writing about mindfulness as part of implicit motivation. This is mentioned in the textbook on p407 (Chapter 16) but implicit motives affecting behaviour is a good starting point for theory. There's not much to go on in the book per se, but writing about implicit motivations may help.

Another avenue to potentially write about is here - https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fteo0000027. Of particular note is how this reference talks about how Edward Langer approached mindfulness from a cognitive perspective, but also about how Langer's work compares with relational mindfulness (another theory about mindfulness tied to Eastern thought). Given that Ellen Langer is a bit of a big name in regard to cognitive mindfulness you might be able to find a video to link to for your 'See also' section, depending on if you think it lines up with your chapter.

Finally, I found this piece on mindfulness and Buddhist emptiness theory. It's pretty new so the only piece I found so far is here: https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Frel0000079. The idea that Eastern psychology could influence how Western psychology is approached would be an interesting idea to present.

Keep up the good work!
