This site is excellent and so is how the subject matter was explained. I also like some of the comments too. Looking forward to your next post. When Google allowed engineers to spend 20% of their time pursuing their passion, Meng decided to spend his time on a cause dear to his heart: Launching a conspiracy to bring about world peace. The conspirators could well be called the compassionati. Thnaks. PROVISER

I think this will lead to social fragmentation in a very big way that a foreigner can actually discern from outside. When Meng says Photographers Cambridge

Meditation is the ancient technique emanated and widely practiced in India even today. It is not surprising to hear about the positive strides and the West as always had woken up from the slumber and started inheriting these virtues now. - It is true and Indians are the real pioneers in meditation. Even the sylva method also from our Indian Meditation.-

I am an Indian and I live here. I do not see this attitude "I want this person to be happy" played out in India at large - though one can find this in esoteric and exclusivistic (?) pockets. This leads to social fragmentation in a very big way that a foreigner can actually discern from outside. When Meng says - " 'This is all hippie bullshit.' I wanted those people. That was my biggest challenge." - this is where I find a value addition. Indians need this very badly.

This is very good news and very inspiring, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. I was invited to research workplace bullying in a healthcare context back in 1995. (The results were published in 2000 as "The Bullying Culture" see http://BullyingCulture.com) Back then we concluded the 'cause' of workplace bullying is low emotional intelligence, and the way forward if through programs like this that recognize the value )and profitability) of emotional and social intelligence training programs. I think even a few years ago it wasn't completely accepted that emotional intelligence can be improved, and what the benefits of that would be in economic terms, for the company's bottom line. With the current worldwide political discussions on bullying and what to do about it, this initiative from Google is very timely and essential. I would like to see politicians make the connection and see this as an intelligent solution to the bullying issue. Programs like SIY are essential for bridging the gap - making the workplace happier, healthier, AND more profitable on many levels!

I did a dissertation on integrating psychology and spirituality in 1975. Out of that work we developed a systematic way to train people in EQ or, as it was called back then, "The Core Conditions Of Care".i later took Cognitive Counseling Theory and Positive Psychology and trained people in calming the inner life. It was focused on Western Spirituality instead of Eastern Mysticism as is the Meng program. Our program is being taught in over 100 countries.
