Recommendation
Most people know just a little about mindfulness, yet business leaders recognize its career impact and workplace benefits. As psychologist Audrey Tang reports, a Mindfulness Initiative study found that users said mindful practices made them feel positive, focused and resilient. Mindfulness can help you be more conscious of your prejudices, goals and values. It can also strengthen your leadership skills. Tang describes how mindfulness leads to better decision making: It helps you seet priorities and distinguish between important information and mere noise. In considering the practical aspects of mindfulness, Tang discusses using mindful practices to support collaboration, resilience, creativity, “emotional agility” and confidence. Her comprehensive introduction to mindfulness shows readers how to use it, step by step. Tang encourages those who wish to deepen their leadership skills to add mindfulness to their methods.

8 months agoA good perspective connecting a traditional Buddhist philosophy with modern corporate leadership complexities. The author has blended the art of mindfulness and it's application to decision making and problem solving with finesse. As a beginner in the mindfulness space, this summay was an affirmation that there is no "this or that" but only "this and that". Would love to read other works of this author.
