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" A "New York Times" reporter reveals what business leaders around the country are already discovering: Meditation may be the key to fostering a happier, more productive workplace. For the past few years, mindfulness has begun to transform the American workplace.
