Peer-reviewed research shows that mindfulness meditation can reduce guilt and make people less likely to repair harm they have caused. Emily starts there and asks the harder question: what happens when the tools we use to feel better let us off the hook for being better?

This is not theory offered from the sidelines. After surviving a serious crime and a justice system that failed to respond, Emily sued the head of the UK's Crown Prosecution Service and won a landmark case that clarified the law. She went on to advise government across three Prime Ministers, help build national reforms, and was honored by the King with an OBE. Her work was recognized in both Houses of Parliament.
