About

Playheart was created by Jordan Quaglia, PhD, an author, professor, and contemplative scientist exploring how psychology, mindfulness, compassion, and play can support meaningful change. Jordan is Associate Professor of Psychology at Naropa University, where he directs the Cognitive and Affective Science Laboratory and serves as Research Director of the Center for the Advancement of Contemplative Education.
