On February 29, 2016 host Joseph Pace and guests explore the ways Bay Area companies are incorporating mindfulness into the workplace.
What are the benefits -- and limitations -- of on-the-job mindfulness practices? Can workplace-based mindfulness programs relieve stress and foster productivity, as proponents claim? Can practices with spiritual origins, such as meditation, be secularized for the workplace?
