From the Groundbreaking Course at Google Whether your intention is to reduce stress and increase well-being, heighten focus and creativity, become more optimistic and resilient, build fulfilling relationships, or just be successful, the skills provided by Search Inside Yourself will prove invaluable to you.
A long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena. In Joy on Demand , Meng shows that you don’t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joy—you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as 15 seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life. For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, bestselling author and Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” Chade-Meng Tan has developed a program, through “wise laziness,” to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.
n 'Plezier on demand' schrijft Chade-Meng Tan dat je maar 15 seconden per dag nodig hebt om meer plezier, succes en rust te ervaren. Vergeet uren, dagen en jaren mediteren! Dit aan de hand van het programma 'verstandige luiheid'. Het programma is gebaseerd op drie pijlers; innerlijke rust, inzicht en geluk. Met praktische tips om toe te passen in het dagelijks leven. Plezier gaat vooraf aan geluk. Plezier is een voorwaarde om vriendschappen te sluiten en samen te werken. Het is de bron van creativiteit en innovatie. Meer plezier betekent meer succes. Iedereen heeft een aangeboren vermogen om plezier te hebben. Chade-Meng Tan laat zien hoe je door mindfulness dat vermogen aanboort. Hoe meer je oefent, des te sneller het gaat. De meeste mensen zijn zich hier niet van bewust, maar het is werkelijk mogelijk om je geluk naar een hoger plan te tillen.
