Book Description
Use mindfulness techniques to handle toxic stress in the workplace and to create your ideal professional experience from the inside out. While working in a particularly toxic environment, Karlyn Borysenko came to this liberating realization: she couldn't control other people, but she could control herself, her perspective, and her actions. Now an organizational psychologist, consultant, and executive coach, Borysenko shows us how to bridge the gap between where we are now and what will bring us the most professional success and happiness. We must achieve self-mastery--by accepting responsibility for our actions, understanding our innate work style, and discerning when and how to push outside our comfort zone. In Zen Your Work, Borysenko shows us how to set personal goals that allow us to focus our energy and create measures of success that aren't affected by the cynicism, competitiveness, or narcissism of others. Borysenko teaches us to apply mindfulness techniques in a highly practical way to achieve professional success, create game-changing relationships (even with the most negative people in the office), decrease stress, and enjoy a better work/life balance.

Book Description
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will learn how to use meditation to work in accordance with your values and positively influence the future of your company. You will also learn : how mindfulness differs from other techniques that promise better productivity; why it is so popular in the American workplace; how meditation is gradually transforming managerial styles; that a few minutes a day is enough to encourage a more holistic view of the economy. Meditation is, without question, a fashionable practice. For a long time marginal and practiced by Buddhist initiates, it is now becoming established as a means of perfecting one's relationship with oneself and the world. To derive real benefit from it, no need to sacrifice long hours to complicated exercises: set aside even a few minutes each day to concentrate on your breath and your changing flow of thought is enough. The most successful American companies (Twitter, Google, Apple, Facebook) choose to integrate this practice into their firm's salary life by organizing training, retirements, group breaks. A new approach to work then emerges: no longer a question of presentism, the employee is encouraged to work with intention. In other words, they are invited to regularly take stock of themselves and establish a beneficial balance between their personal life and their job. Are you ready to discover how meditation can change the future of a company? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
