I certainly feel there is growing demand for cognitive fitness. For example, many college students seek drugs like adderall to help with papers and exams. But these solutions can sometimes lead to drug addiction and other risks. However -- if we could implement the the practice of meditation in order to build focus in college students then it can do wonders for productivity and learning. Mindfulness meditation has also shown to help with those with ADHD, depression, and other mental ailments. These things should be taught to everyone! We should build a curriculum to help teach kids these skills of mind. This is very exciting news! I certainly feel there is growing demand for cognitive fitness.
