In this sixth and final episode of A Walk On The Wise Side, we pickup where we left off - by asking a brand new batch of wise minds what they think when they think of mindfulness.

Dr Stephen McKenzie is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne. In this episode, Stephen is once more joined by clinical psychologist Nicholas Van Dam to ask the experts the big questions:

What does the world really need now?

How can the traditions or systems like Zen Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Vedanta & Hindu Philosophies and so on really help people live well?


There’s no right or wrong way to practice mindfulness - but it can’t hurt to have a guide!
There is no guided mindfulness practice in this episode - if you are looking for one, we recommend going back to episodes 1, 2, 3, or 4 and using the timecode to skip ahead.

If you’ve been with us from the start, thanks for walking on the wise side with us!
