Breathe To Succeed
Increase Workplace Productivity, Creativity, and Clarity through the Power of Mindfulness
By Sandy Abrams
About the book
Sandy Abrams presents breathing as a counter to the distraction, short attention spans, overflowing inboxes, social media habits and lack of sleep that technology has brought to working life. Her quick, simple breathing techniques are meant to make entrepreneurs, employees and executives more mindful and engaged, with better moods, a calmer outlook and more energy for productivity, creativity and clarity. Even three deep breaths at key moments, she argues, can make a large difference. The techniques cover managing emotions in the moment, noticing negative thought patterns and replacing them with new habits, and using the breath to work through challenges and make better decisions.
Arianna Huffington praised its advice as a simple way to make mindfulness part of daily life, and former Aetna chief executive Mark Bertolini endorsed it as a prescription for current and aspiring leaders facing constant stress.
