Thich Nhat Hanh: @Google Talk

A first-ever visit by the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to a corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley, the unique event included a practices-based workshop, in addition to an inspirational dharma talk. Google invited him to campus as part of its Optimize Your Life initiative, which seeks to encourage health, happiness, and balance among employees and recognizes that mindful, meditative practices are critical to mental health.

More companies need to have days of mindfulness.  The world would be so much better.

God just one wish....i want to work at google.

This is such a novel idea that Google had to "educate" its employees to attain happiness and balance in life. I hope Thích Nhất Hạnh's visit to its headquarter won't be the last. A healthy, enlightened employee will undoubtedly benefit him/herself and the company. It's a win-win situation. Kudo to Google!
