Mindfulness is more than just meditation and it has become more popular than ever. From the boardroom to the living room, the benefits are flowing.

Companies like Apple, Google, and Nike have promoted mindfulness meditation as a staple for employee development.

This ability to pay attention in a specific way can boost productivity and reduce stress, making for a better worker and overall better workplace.
