The Mindfulness Edge: How To Rewire Your Brain For Leadership And Personal Excellence Without Adding To Your Schedule

The Ultimate Success Habit is an in-depth exploration of the benefits of mindfulness training with a very clear and persuasive value proposition: the practice can actually rewire the brain in ways that improve nearly every area of leadership (see the draft of the introduction below for more detail). The book is also a practical how-to manual for seamlessly integrating mindfulness training into daily life without adding anything to our already busy schedules. Mindfulness training has been shown through extensive research to not only change the brain in ways that are important for leadership, but that also allow us to be happier, more compassionate human beings – the ultimate goals of human existence.
