A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

For the benefits of meditation to become widely accessible to humanity, it cannot just be the domain of bald people in funny robes living in mountains, or small groups of New Age folks in San Francisco. Meditation needs to become "real." It needs to align with the lives and interests of real people.
—from Search Inside Yourself

Early Google engineer and personal growth pioneer Chade-Meng Tan first designed Search Inside Yourself as a popular course at Google intended to transform the work and lives of the best and brightest behind one of the most innovative, successful, and profitable businesses in the world . . . and now it can do the same for you. Meng has distilled emotional intelligence into a set of practical and proven tools and skills that anyone can learn and develop.

Created in collaboration with a Zen master, a CEO, a Stanford University scientist, and Daniel Goleman (the guy who literally wrote the book on emotional intelligence), this program is grounded in science and expressed in a way that even a skeptical, compulsively pragmatic, engineering-oriented brain like Meng's can process. Whether your intention is to reduce stress and increase well-being, heighten focus and creativity, become more optimistic and resilient, build fulfilling relationships, or just be successful, the skills provided by Search Inside Yourself will prove invaluable for you. This is your guide to enhancing productivity and creativity, finding meaning and fulfillment in your work and life, and experiencing profound peace, compassion, and happiness while doing so.

Search Inside Yourself reveals how to calm your mind on demand and return it to a natural state of happiness, deepen self-awareness in a way that fosters self-confidence, harness empathy and compassion into outstanding leadership, and build highly productive collaborations based on trust and transparent communication. In other words, Search Inside Yourself shows you how to grow inner joy while succeeding at your work. Meng writes: "Some people buy books that teach them to be liked; others buy books that teach them to be successful. This book teaches you both. You are so lucky."

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A New York Times bestseller, Google's personal growth pioneer offers a proven program designed to enhance mindfulness and emotional intelligence in life and work.

Foreword by Daniel Goleman, author of the international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, as well as an introduction by Jon Kabat-Zinn, the author of Coming To Our Senses.

Chade-Meng Tan (Meng) originally developed Search Inside Yourself at Google to improve the personal and professional lives of employees by enhancing productivity, creativity, and ultimately day-to-day happiness through the practice of mindfulness. Meng's job is to teach the best and brightest how to apply mindfulness techniques to their life and work, producing happier, healthier, and more creative employees. In little over a decade, Google has revolutionized the way business is done. Part of the success is a direct result of an unorthodox approach to personnel and management. Search Inside Yourself is very much part of this pioneering mindset. This book is the course that is improving the emotional intelligence of those behind one of the most innovative and successful businesses in the world. Now in paperback, we all get inside access to one of the most sought after classes in the country.

In a wholly unique, entertaining and affable program, Meng guides the reader on a prescriptive journey inward. Beginning with explaining both the practice and benefits of cultivating mindfulness, Search Inside Yourself will show us how to harness and transform clarity into self-confidence, optimism into creating ideal outcomes, empathy into leadership and improved social skills. The tools taught will not only help us better understand ourselves but they will enable us to be more successful, productive and happier in all areas of our life.
