In the modern digital age, work stress has cut into professionals’ daily routines. Emails clog the inbox from early morning onwards and work-life balance is fast turning into a myth. This impacts decisions making skills. A doze of mindfulness thus becomes necessary as proven through the highly fruitful experiences of thought leaders such as Arianna Huffington and Steve Jobs. Mediation becomes an ideal tool to inculcate mindfulness. Business research conducted by the Duke University has clearly identified mediation as being responsible for reducing stress levels, improvement in sleep quality and most importantly improved productivity at the workplace. Even the WHO says that stress costs American business hundreds of billions of dollars worth each year.
