Theres nothing touchy-feely about increased profits. This is a tough economy. ... Stress-reduction and mindfulness dont just make us happier and healthier, theyre a proven competitive advantage for any business that wants one. -- Arianna Huffington So, what about mindfulness? By focusing on the bottom-line benefits of mindfulness, are business leaders corrupting the core Buddhist practice? Thich Nhat Hanh, the 87-year-old Zen master considered by many to be the father of mindfulness in the west, says as long as business leaders practice true mindfulness, it does not matter if the original intention is triggered by wanting to be more effective at work or to make bigger profits. Thay, as he is known, says the practice of mindfulness will fundamentally change business leaders perspective on life as it naturally opens hearts to greater compassion and develops the desire to end the suffering of others. #couldnotagreemore
