About the Author: Chade Meng Tan
Chade-Meng Tan (Meng) is Google's Jolly Good Fellow (which nobody can deny). Meng was one of Google's earliest engineers. Among many other things, he helped build Google's first mobile search service, and headed the team that kept a vigilant eye on Google's search quality. His current job description is, "Enlighten minds, open hearts, create world peace".
Outside of Google, Meng is the Founder and (Jolly Good) President of the Tan Teo Charitable Foundation, a small foundation dedicated to promoting Peace, Liberty and Enlightenment in the world. He is a Founding Patron of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE). He is also a Founding Patron of the World Peace Festival, and adviser to a number of technology start-ups.
Meng occasionally finds himself featured on newspapers. He was featured on the front page of the New York Times and delivered a TED talk at the United Nations. He has met three United States Presidents, Obama, Clinton and Carter. The Dalai Lama gave him a hug for his 40th birthday. His personal motto is, "Life is too important to be taken seriously".
Meng hopes to see every workplace in the world become a drinking fountain for happiness and enlightenment. When Meng grows up, he wants to save the world, and have lots of fun and laughter doing it. He feels if something is no laughing matter, it is probably not worth doing.

best self help book I have ever read. Chade-Meng does not just tell you what is good for you to do. He backs it up with data and research/proof. I have been following his guidance to meditate and act more thoughtfully in general. So far this has affected my life and how I view things around me more than I would have believed possible. It's worth the read and the $. -c

Wonderful & funny approach to mindfulness and how to do it - in simple terms, also instructions on how to make dreams come true and another exercise on how to prepare for meetings that might be nasty and come out well - maybe even with a friend.
I have tried two exercises (in two weeks) and they work!
I can understand why the Dalai Lama gave Meng Tan a hug for his 40th birthday - I would if I could.

Meng's book is an enjoyable and thorough run through of Mindfulness with great practical implications for people and workplaces. He covers the topic from the point of view of a stressed knowledge-worker (engineer), and anecdotally how Google staff have found it valuable.
As someone who is both familiar with the science, and someone who has been teaching mindfulness and self-awareness in business for almost two decades I salute Meng and Google's success in bringing their work to public attention.
If mindfulness has ethical and spiritual benefits (which is harder to prove scientifically), then Meng's book helps nudge us along the path of creating a better world.
