Contemplative Spaces



Reviewed by Harold Roth and Larson Difiori


Contemplative Spaces, as proposed, are environments strategically designed to address the challenges of modern existence by reducing distractions and promoting active contemplation in everyday life. Informed by the principles of operant conditioning, Contemplative Spaces facilitate meaningful integration and modification of mental states, to foster states of contemplation and conscious awareness.
