Maria Napoli, PhD, is Emeritus Associate Professor at Arizona State University School of Social Work. She has incorporated the practice of mindfulness in her research, teaching, trainings and presentations at conferences nationally and internationally.

MR. STEVE PETERSON is Associate Faculty at Arizona State University and facilitates mindful learning, health, wellness and lifelong growth through classroom instruction as part of the University’s Integrative Health Initiative. His central tenet is that whole person health includes mindfulness, stress-management and an understanding of the mental and physiological processes that can either inspire or drain wellness throughout the entire lifespan. Mr. Peterson incorporates Eastern and Western healthcare practices into his curriculum delivery for a truly understandable and personal wellness experience. He also developed the “Personal Resolution Pyramid” for establishing mindful balance in one’s life that will be experienced in this textbook.
