Mindfulness: HBR Emotional Intelligence Series
by Harvard Business Review
View on GoodreadsA compact HBR essay collection on mindfulness in the workplace — attention training, stress regulation, decision-making — formatted for executives needing a quick conceptual treatment.
Core ideas
- Workplace mindfulness research has matured beyond "meditation feels good" — attention training shows measurable effects on focus, decision quality, and stress recovery in workplace settings.
- The book's editorial frame keeps it palatable to skeptical readers — applications over metaphysics, evidence over inspiration — which is part of why the HBR series has succeeded at importing contemplative material into corporate vocabularies.
- Risks are flagged: "McMindfulness" — treating contemplative practice as a productivity hack while leaving workplace dysfunction untouched — is discussed openly.
