“Search Inside Yourself,” the popular course taught at Google, was created to elevate the work and lives of the best and brightest people at one of the most innovative, successful, and profitable businesses in the world. Deeply rooted in science, the course was designed for Googlers as a means to reduce stress, increase well-being, heighten focus and creativity, become more optimistic and resilient, build fulfilling relationships, and ultimately become happier and more profitable in their work and their lives. While the skills learned via “Search Inside Yourself” are designed to help one to ?optimize thyself? and gain an extra edge, it may be surprising that the core concepts of the program are mindfulness and emotional intelligence.
Created in collaboration with a Zen Master, a CEO, a Stanford University scientist, and bestselling author Daniel Goleman (the guy who literally wrote the book on emotional intelligence), and written by Chade-Meng Tan, one of Google?s earliest engineers, “Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace)” (HarperOne; April 24, 2012; Hardcover & eBook), distills mindfulness and emotional intelligence in a way even a skeptical, compulsively pragmatic, engineering-oriented brain like Meng?s can process, breaking them down into a set of practical tools and skills that can be adopted by anyone, at any career or experience level.
