Many people in the world live under the false belief that if they amass enough wealth they will be happy. In fact, research shows that the marginal increase in happiness beyond an income of 75,000 is minimal. So the strength of people like you who have been successful, is that you have a drive and related skills that make you successful in a worldly sense, however, what brings you here is that you don't always have peace of mind or happiness. This is not a new problem, it is an ancient one. And this is why the Buddha to be, a prince at the time, gave up his wealth, walked away from his newborn and wife and began a journey to find true and lasting peace and happiness. Siddartha Gautama, who came to be known as "Buddha" found what he was looking for, and shared it freely. Today, 2500 years later there has been a resurgence and a growth in the availability of these teachings and western science is verifying the claims that these methods can help end suffering. Now, we don't expect you to walk away from your wealth or families. Instead, in the comfort of your homes and regular routines, we want to introduce you to mindfulness, a practice that is gaining traction because of the scientific studies that back up the self reported claims and benefits over millennium. It turns out, there is a way to develop the qualities of mind and heart that make us and others happy and in this process of nurturing skillful mind states, reduce the mind's activity of those habits and patterns that undermine our success and cause difficulty for ourselves and others. Simply put, mind qualities can be trained in a way similar to the way that body muscles can. And there are proven methods and techniques to do so. As part of your life journey I encourage you to investigate and learn more, especially now, when times are good.

Bring a program to your team. * Sixty-five percent of executives surveyed by Deloitte Consulting LLP for its 2014 Global Human Capital Trends report rated the “overwhelmed employee” an “urgent” or “important” issue. Yet the fact that only 9 percent of survey respondents say their companies are helping employees deal with overwhelming amounts of work speaks to the seemingly intractable nature of the phenomenon.
