Meditation, mindfulness, presence are all terms that are slowing creeping into the business world. More and more people are realising the benefits of stilling the chatter, stilling the mind and how it can be applied to business. How this practice can help you to access extraordinary states with less effort.
The Practice of Stillness is a practical book, written for those who are ready to go beyond mindfulness, mere concepts and ideas, and to dive into the exquisite, powerful meditative practices of enlightened masters.

The book also explains how those processes are the source of power and higher values that underpin the most effective performance in any field of human activity and everyday life, including
