Richard Davidson, professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, touted the importance of being mindful, especially in the workplace.

"I think people in leadership positions are starting to understand the importance of [mindfulness practices]," Davidson told HuffPost Live at Davos. "The cost of burnout is enormous, the cost of employee turnover is enormous."

Davidson said happiness is a skill that can be continually developed.

"I talk about happiness as a skill. It's actually something that can be cultivated," he said. "Everything we've learned about the brain suggests it's no different than learning the violin... if you practice, you'll get better at it."

Below, the latest updates from the 2015 Davos Annual Meeting:

Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini explains to HuffPost Live why he decided to take a little better care of his company's workforce.

When asked about the Selma snub at the Oscars, Gelfond said he had a bigger criticism of the Academy Awards' nominating system.

"The nominating process for best picture is maybe a little bit dated," Gelfond said. "The way pictures are made has changed so rapidly over the last couple of decades."

Gelfond said the best picture category is "so subjective" and "there's no guidelines around it."

IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond

Gelfond weighed in on the Sony hack, saying theater owners got a bad rap.

"Theater owners were portrayed in a worse light than they should have been," Gelfond said.

"I think the theater owners got screwed... they didn't really get a seat at the table in all of this," he added.

Gelfond weighed in on the future of movie theaters.

"I think the cinema experience will be a better experience for consumers," Gelfond said. "There are two reasons people go to movies: it's a differentiated experience.. and the other is its a social experience."

"I think as long as the theaters in general keep those elements, people will still go to theaters," Gelfond said. "That being said theres never been a technology that you can hold back forever."

IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond spoke with HuffPost Live about the company's decision to run HBO's "Game of Thrones."

"IMAX sees ourselves at the top of the food chain as far as a premium experience," Gelfond said.

"Thinking of it in a strange way, IMAX is another device," Gelfond said.

Alexis Ringwald, co-founder and CEO of LearnUp, at Davos

Alexis Ringwald, co-founder and CEO of LearnUp, said she went on a "listening journey" through unemployment lines in America and discovered there's a skills gap and a challenge even for people to get an entry-level job.

"We decided to partner with employers directly -- they're the only ones who know exactly what skills you need," she said.

Ringwald said a couple of hours of LearnUp training will triple someone's chances of getting a job.

Handley said he's disappointed with the parties at Davos.

"Let's be honest, they're not very good," Handley said.

Derek Handley shared what his first time at Davos has been like.

"I spent most of the time outside the main event meeting people in all the different environments," he said. "My main takeaway is it's a really interesting place and there are amazing people here, but there is a diversity problem, and I think it's a significant issue."

He took issue with the fact that most attendees of Davos are men, and also said the annual meeting lacks artists.

University of Chicago President Robert Zimmer spoke about his school's bid for the Obama presidential library, saying it'd be more fitting for the establishment to go in Illinois than New York.

"Columbia [University] is a very good place, but Chicago's a better place for this library," Zimmer said.

"As you know the Obamas have very deep history with the community on the South side of Chicago," he added. "It's a reflection of their roots and what drove them. I think it's a very natural place. Of course they decide, and we hope that's what they decide."

Yale University President Peter Salovey talks with HuffPost Live about the issue of sexual misconduct on college campuses.

New York Times reporter David Gelles sits down with HuffPost Live to unpack the meaning of his new book, "Mindful Work."

"It's pretty powerful to have access to anything, anytime," Shlain said.

Shlain said she really tries "creatively" not to be on screens all the time. She observes Shabbat every week, which gives her one full day of unplugging.

Tiffany Shlain said she's excited about the future of television and film on the Internet.

"Ultimately I'm trying to elevate the conversation, so I think the online space is a very exciting space for filmmakers right now. There's just no doubt about it," she said.

Shlain said the "most exciting device" that's been invented in recent years is the front-facing camera on a phone that allows them to film themselves.

"It's so visceral when there's nothing between them and the camera," she said.

Mark Bertolini said he thought incorporating yoga into the workplace would help improve quality of life. As his company implemented yoga practices at work, it conducted a study on how mindfulness practices would impact health care costs.

"After we completed the [yoga] course, the results were amazing," Bertolini said, saying in addition to weight loss and happier employees, there was an increase in productivity by 69 minutes a month.

"We think it's about a ,000 a year savings," Bertolini said, noting his company's health care costs actually went down after implementing mindfulness practices.

Mark Bertolini said a number of CEOs at Davos have asked him how he made the major changes at his company.

"Not everybody should be at an hour, there may be people who need to be higher," Bertolini said, noting people's lifestyles are directly impacted by how they are paid.

Mark Bertolini, CEO of Aetna, explained how he increased wages for his workers, arguing that taking better care of his employees would in turn lead to better care for Aetna's customers.

"We started to say, well, that's going to take away some of their benefits... so we also made a benefits change," Bertolini said.

"I think it is useful and important for people to imagine, 'where's my food coming from?'" Mack said.

"What people don't appreciate is just how intensive agriculture is around the world," Mack added.

"Transparency.. is getting pretty tightly wound together with labeling," Mack said.

Mack said people in the U.S. have "failed to appreciate" that labeling was always done for the purposes of safety, and argued that GMO labeling isn't typically done because GMOs aren't deemed unsafe.

Michael Mack, CEO of Syngenta, said some of the debate over food technologies like GMOs is "Western luxury."

Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer Of Facebook, talks with Arianna about meeting the mother of a jihadist.

Dell defended his company's decision to have manufacturing jobs in China rather than the U.S., saying employment at Dell in some areas has actually increased in the U.S.

"Our employment in the U.S. has grown in areas like research and development and services," Dell said.

"I think one important point is that if you want people to be employed, you need to have employers," Dell said. "Employers don't just spring out of nowhere. So the employers need and environment thats conducive for them to be able to take the risks, create the jobs, and with taking on the risk, there ought to be some opportunity for them."

Dell said he thinks it should be more simple to get businesses started and change the culture so "there's more acceptance of risk."

"If you want to create jobs and entrepreneurship, make it easy for people to start companies," Dell said.
