It helps you develop the internal conditions that lead to enduring happiness, so you are not so vulnerable to the constantly changing external conditions of your life experience.

#4 There is a lot of scientific evidence that learning to focus your attention without judgment on the present has a positive impact on many aspects of your life. It improves your ability to focus efficiently on your work, and it helps you manage your emotions in difficult situations.
