Worry and stress are the greatest issues modern knowledge workers face-a direct result of our constantly fragmented attention and an unceasing information flow. How can we combat this?

By practicing mindfulness-a tool that improves mental focus and helps you avoid the draining effects of multitasking and overstimulation.

Last year, two hundred companies worldwide implemented the Corporate-Based Mindfulness Training program. Its steps-outlined in this book-strengthen the areas of the brain responsible for concentration, working memory, and mood, among others. Invest just ten minutes a day, and mindfulness can permeate your working and personal life, improving your effectiveness and overall well-being.

Author and keynote speaker Martin Stroem, senior consultant with Potential Project, the world’s top provider of corporate mindfulness since 2010, has trained leaders of numerous Fortune 500 companies in this discipline and, as a leading expert, executed one of the first scientific studies on workplace mindfulness.
