Search Inside Yourself
The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace)
About the book
Early Google engineer Chade-Meng Tan sets out a method for building mindfulness and emotional intelligence at work and in the rest of life. The material comes from a course Tan teaches inside Google, where his job is to show employees how to use mindfulness at work and outside it. Presented as training in health, happiness and creativity, the course is opened up here to readers outside the company. Its themes include self-confidence, emotional intelligence, creativity and happiness. Two forewords frame the text: one by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, and one by mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Coming to Our Senses.
Henry Medine, co-founder of Space Jam Data, said Tan makes a convincing case that soft skills such as empathy, acceptance and emotional intelligence matter at work, and recommended it to business people building a strong company culture.

Henry Medine (Co-Founder/Space Jam Data)
This book is written by an early core member/lead engineer from Google. Chade does a fantastic job proving the reader reasons why soft skills like emotional intelligence, acceptance, and empathy matter in a work environment. The book is great for any business person who wants to establish a strong company culture that promotes longevity, employee empowerment and self confidence. Chade reveals how soft skills that typically get lost in the sea of performance metrics of work culture really do matter. This book provided me with confidence to lead with my emotional skills and I carry many of the mindfulness practice techniques he outlines to this day.
