If you've ever been too busy to meditate, two of these pieces argue you can still practice mindfulness in small doses through the workday. Harvard Business Review gathers nine pieces, opening with Alison Beard's interview with psychologist Ellen Langer, and covers the brain science, practical technique and the case against.

Core ideas
  • Brain science: An essay by Christina Congleton, Britta K. Hölzel and Sara W. Lazar presents research showing that mindfulness practice changes the brain.
  • Beyond calm: Daniel Goleman on resilience, Susan David and Christina Congleton on emotional agility, and Dacher Keltner on keeping power from corrupting you widen the frame.
  • The skeptics get space: Charlotte Lieberman asks what's lost when mindfulness becomes a productivity tool, and David Brendel argues it carries risks at work.
