Helping students reach the height of mindfulness through Everest experience

If the power of the mind helped John Burke to top Mt Everest, can students use it to reach peak potential? writes Trish Flanagan.

HARNESSING the power of the mind has been essential to the success of hotelier John Burke in business, and on the mountains. Now he’s sharing the experience of mindfulness with secondary school students in Co Clare.

John, whose business interests include The Armada Hotel and Hotel Doolin, became the first Clareman to summit Everest in May 2017. He credits mindfulness with assisting him to achieve his goals.
