    Introduction: An emerging area in Cognitive Psychology has investigated modern interventions, such as Mindfulness, which could improve the neural and cognitive mechanisms of the executive functions and therefore apply them to improve the ability of decision-making. This Integrative Revision gathers available studies about the theme Mindfulness and Decision-making. Objective: The objective of the present study was to gather scientific and academic works about the effects of Mindfulness in the decision making and convert dispersed information in evidenced knowledge to verify if and how Mindfulness can improve the competence of human decision in several contexts (individual, social, parental, clinic and economic), compiling the existing neuroscientific evidence about it. Methods: This is an integrative descriptive review, with the research strategy to find records in which both the English terms Mindfulness and Decision-making were present simultaneously. Results: The results suggest that Mindfulness: (i) improves, specifically, the ability to evaluate the possibilities of action and its consequences (value assessment), one of the facets of decision making; (ii) increases neural synchronicity between the frontal and pariental regions of the brain; (iii) contributes to pro-social decision making, showing increased activation of the left septal region of the brain, linked to the social; (iv) improves the ability to make decisions in stressful situations and in contexts where emotional regulation and self-efficacy are required. Conclusion: All of these results illuminate an important possibility of clinically and socially sustaining Mindfulness to positively impact the ability of decision-making.
