Chade-Meng Tan Bücher

Google zählt weltweit zu den Konzernen mit der höchsten Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit. Eines der Erfolgsprinzipien ist das revolutionäre Selbstentwicklungsprogramm Search Inside Yourself, das Google-Veteran Chade-Meng Tan zusammen mit renommierten Wissenschaftlern wie Jon Kabat-Zinn und Daniel Goleman entwickelte. Kern des Acht-Wochen-Kurses ist ein leicht umsetzbares Achtsamkeitskonzept, das auf drei einfachen Prinzipien basiert: Aufmerksamkeitstraining, Selbsterkenntnis sowie der Aneignung nützlicher geistiger Gewohnheiten. Wer regelmäßig übt, wird im Beruf wie im Privatleben zufriedener, gelassener, kreativer und schließlich auch erfolgreicher – und das nicht nur bei Google.

A long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena. In Joy on Demand , Meng shows that you don’t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joy—you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as 15 seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life. For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, bestselling author and Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” Chade-Meng Tan has developed a program, through “wise laziness,” to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.
