Mindfulness meditation has changed the lives of countless people — and Anderson Cooper of 60 Minutes says he is now one of those people. After doing a 3-day mindfulness meditation retreat with iconic meditation expert Jon Kabat-Zinn, Cooper says his life has been forever changed. The term “mindfulness” and “awareness” are 100% interchangeable, as Kabat-Zinn explains in the report, and you can watch it in full above. And be sure to watch for the priceless look on Anderson’s face when he’s told he has to give up his cell phone and put it in the basket just like everyone else in the room. For more web extras from Cooper’s report you can watch them all in the upper right-hand corner at 60Minutes.com.
