MEDITATION FOR BUSINESS: A step-by-step guide for leaders and their teams

Literary Titan Gold Award Winner
Firebird Book Award

Meditation has become an essential skill in every business leader’s toolkit, helping leaders adapt to and better handle ever-increasing complexity in their day-to-day environments. The benefits of meditation are varied, and undeniable. Studies on meditation programmes in the workplace show a marked improvement in productivity, decision-making, problem-solving and listening skills.

Meditation can bring balance, meaning and mindfulness into the workplace, raise EQ and executive function, and improve the quality of one’s work life. It also reduces stress and anxiety. If you thought that meditation was too ‘woo-woo’, time-consuming or difficult to do, think again. Meditation for Business demystifies the practice by sharing examples of top global CEOs who meditate and includes plenty of solid research to back all the benefits. The book also provides simple, step-by-step guidelines for more than 60 different techniques – from beginner to adept – that you can practise and enjoy. Whether you have just five minutes to spare, or 50 – choose an exercise that fits your schedule and desired outcome.

This full colour, illustrated guide includes meditations, mindfulness and breathing exercises, mudras, and postures for you to experiment with to bring greater calm, balance, and wellbeing into your day. Background, benefits, and tips are provided for each technique. The author also guides you on how to introduce a meditation programme into your workplace.
