Mindful work : how meditation is changing business from the inside out

Gelles, David (Business journalist) (author.).

Summary: For the past few years, mindfulness has begun to transform the American workplace. Many of our largest companies have built extensive programs to foster mindful practices among their workers. Gelles explains how all sorts of businesses and any kind of worker can benefit from meditation, yoga, and other mindful techniques. He shows that mindfulness lowers stress, increases mental focus, and alleviates depression among workers, with the added benefit of saving health care costs.
