sati, n.:
Mindfulness; present moment awareness from which one clearly sees what is happening, in real time, without distortion.
Sati Solutions is a creative synergy between two fields that are opposite sides of the same coin: mindfulness meditation and behavioral economics. Mindfulness meditation operates on the interior aspects of decision-making, highlighting reflexive responses and unconscious assumptions that cloud vision. Behavioral economics addresses the exterior dimensions of decision-making and prescribes dynamic choice systems to facilitate wiser outcomes.
Founding Partners
Joshua Summers
I've been interested in the relationship between meditation and performance since my early days as an ice hockey goaltender and a jazz saxophonist. After Columbia University, I spent several years in India, Taiwan and Burma studying meditation and yoga while teaching grade school and traveling. Inspired by an integral vision of life and work, I became an acupuncturist. And in recent years, my integral vision has broadened to include businesses, communities and organizations. I co-founded Sati Solutions as a commitment to that broader vision from which the consciousness of the individual catalyzes the transformation of the collective.
Michael Brooks
