How do you function when chronic pain is a part of your daily life? The UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness (UCSD CFM) at UC San Diego Health System offers a novel program to help people who are dealing with chronic pain “train their brains” to lessen their experience of discomfort and, in some cases, eliminate it. Called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), this in-depth eight-week program helps participants learn to better manage their experience of pain through diverse techniques such as guided meditation, gentle yoga, and breathing exercises.

Undergraduate business students scored significantly higher than psychology students on a widely used measure of narcissism (17.67 versus 15.19 on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory) in a study led by James W. Westerman of Appalachian State University.
