(http://www.morethansound.net/WWMWebinar.php)

The transcripts from the webcasts are now available in a first-ever ebook collection with Bush and the following participants:

- Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence.

- Richard Davidson, Director of the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior and the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

- George Kohlrieser, veteran hostage negotiator, organizational/clinical psychologist and IMD professor.

- Jeremy Hunter, Assistant Professor of Practice at The Peter F. Drucker School of Management, and creator of The Executive Mind.

“Most people today are asked to improve performance at work with fewer resources and tighter deadlines, all while dealing with equally stressed co-workers and clients,” said Mirabai Bush, author of the CD Working with Mindfulness. “While people may not have control over stressors at work, mindfulness-based exercises are a scientifically proven, natural way to manage one’s responses to them. The Working with Mindfulness ebook collection provides practical insights from my colleagues of how to bring these techniques into your organization, or adopt them for your own work life.”

Key topics featured in the collection include:

- Dr. Davidson’s research on meditation as it relates to happiness, distraction, neuroplasticity and recovering from negative information.

- Mirabai Bush’s experience with developing the curriculum for Google’s Search Inside Yourself course.

- Dr. Hunter’s argument for why mindfulness is the necessary and fundamental skill for today’s knowledge worker environment.

- Dr. Goleman’s advice for choosing the right natural stress-reduction technique that suits your preferences and situation.

- Professor Kohlrieser’s experience with applying mindfulness methods to promote calmness and compassion during negotiations and difficult conversations.

The ebook is available as individual chapters ($2.99/each) or as a bundle ($6.99) through Amazon, Barnes and Noble and iTunes. Learn more here: http://morethansound.net/shop/working-with-mindfulness-re...
