NewYorker article about meditation becoming popular in US business for better productivity…adds to previous recent posts here on this topic.
Why now? Meditation and other mindfulness and “well being” activities have been available in the US for decades. Hazarding a guess, it seems that a number of themes that were part of the 60’s, are now coming to the fore, again. Perhaps because of all the changes being brought by cloud tools.
Of interest to PSA, is that this is yet another skill or capability to include in professional development, but also that mindfulness and meditation support optimal learning environments, and thus, have a place in DLE design.
