Is tech addiction making us far more stressed at work?

Regarding the title, “without a doubt & many people find Transcendental Meditation is the solution.”

We are the distracted generations, wasting hours a day checking irrelevant emails and intrusive social media accounts.

And this “always on” culture – exacerbated by the smartphone – is actually making us more stressed and less productive, according to some reports.

“Something like 40% of people wake up, and the first thing they do is check their email,” says Professor Sir Cary Cooper of Manchester Business School, who has studied e-mail and workplace stress.

“For another 40%, it’s the last thing they do at night.”

 

All kinds of people meditate, whatever you think about Hedge Fund Managers

Dalio,  66, is considered the most successful hedge fund manager of all time. He’s been practicing Transcendental Mediation for more than 40 years.

Interesting article on ageing and meditation

https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2016/mar/03/could-meditation-really-help-slow-the-ageing-process

Interesting article, but when are the media going to catch up and show pics of people meditating on the way to work, as so many do. Maybe sitting on the tube or service station car park with eyes closed isn’t quite so attractive, but it still does the job. 🙂

Could meditation really help slow the ageing process?
It may seem unlikely, but a small and growing body of evidence suggests that regular meditation can indeed slow ageing, at least at a cellular level
