Worry and stress are the greatest issues modern knowledge workers face-a direct result of our constantly fragmented attention and an unceasing information flow. How can we combat this?
By practicing mindfulness-a tool that improves mental focus and helps you avoid the draining effects of multitasking and overstimulation.
Last year, two hundred companies worldwide implemented the Corporate-Based Mindfulness Training program. Its steps-outlined in this book-strengthen the areas of the brain responsible for concentration, working memory, and mood, among others. Invest just ten minutes a day, and mindfulness can permeate your working and personal life, improving your effectiveness and overall well-being.
