About this product
Product Information
"Intriguing, timely, and enjoyable . . . A fascinating account of the increasing adoption of these ancient disciplines by Western businesses." -- Financial Times "[An] adroit exploration. [Gelles] deftly describes what mindfulness is and what it isn't, presents the science behind it, and handily succeeds in convincing readers that the practice is worth exploring." -- Success Business leaders around the country are discovering that meditation may be the key to fostering a happier, more productive workplace. Many American companies, including some of our largest -- such as General Mills, Ford, Target, and Google -- have built extensive programs to foster mindful practices among their workers. Mindful Work is the first book to explain how all sorts of businesses and any kind of worker can benefit from meditation, yoga, and other mindful techniques. Mindfulness lowers stress, increases mental focus, and alleviates depression among workers. It has also benefited companies that have adopted it -- from the millions of dollars Aetna has saved in health-care costs to the ways Patagonia has combined leadership in its market with a pervasively mindful outlook. Mindful Work offers an eye-opening tour through this new landscape, and goes beyond other books on the subject by providing evidence for the practical benefits of mindfulness and showing readers how to become more mindful themselves. "Brimming with insights and backed up with solid research, Mindful Work takes us to the front lines of a revolution that is transforming the business world." -- Arianna Huffington

"Brimming with insights and backed up with solid research, Mindful Work takes us to the front lines of a revolution that is transforming the business world."-- Arianna Huffington "Gelles has done a masterful job of capturing the 'mindfulness movement.' His candid analysis and his dialogue with people from all facets of this movement paint a wonderfully clear view of a potent proposition for living and working in better ways." -- Scott Kriens, chairman, Juniper Networks, and director, 1440 Foundation "In this compelling book, Gelles describes how apparent paradoxes can resolve into a business culture where taking a breath is part of making a buck." -- Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together "In this wise and revealing work, David Gelles explains how Eastern wisdom is transforming the Western workplace. Smart, hopeful, and inspiring, this is a book with a wide reach and a clear focus." -- Mark Epstein, author of The Trauma of Everyday Life and Thoughts without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective "A delightful, authoritative, and provocative guide to the new world of mindfulness at work.

Give this book your full attention." -- Daniel Goleman, author of Focus and Emotional Intelligence "This stunning new book is by far the most insightful, practical guide to mindfulness and meditation.
