Mindfulness for the Workplace

By: Wendy Quan, The Great Courses

Narrated by: Wendy Quan

Life is amazing. And then, it's awful. And then, it's amazing, again. In between the amazing and the awful, life can be ordinary, mundane, and routine. But we are here to engage in the human experience. What most of us don't always understand is that we have the power to make this experience a great one for ourselves, if we can rise above our day-to-day struggles to see that they are just part of life and eventually will pass.

With our jobs at the forefront of our lives, work is the biggest source of stress for many. In a survey from nonprofit advocacy group Mental Health America, 83% of today's workers are experiencing signs of burnout, with demands of the work domain spilling over into the personal life domain.

Now, in our new course, Mindfulness for the Workplace, you can find respite from life's inevitable frustrations and challenges with practical, evidence-based solutions from our expert Wendy Quan—author, entrepreneur, and pioneer in workplace mindfulness. Wendy discovered and used mindfulness and meditation as a source of strength to get through a series of devastating crises in her life. Stunned by its effectiveness, she now trains and certifies others to do the same in the workplace.

With this insightful and engaging 12-lesson course, you will gain tools to create a better experience for yourself at work and in life, no matter what your current circumstances are or what the future might hold.

By employing these simple techniques that anyone can do, you will be able to reduce stress, handle people better, and have better work-life balance, even if your workload stays the same. When you integrate mindfulness practice into your daily routine, you'll begin to recognize life as an adventure, so that you don’t rush through it and wonder later where all the years went.
