Earlier this month we co-sponsored a launch event for Sharon Salzberg’s new book Real Happiness at Work: Meditations for Accomplishment, Achievement and Peace at ABC Carpet and Home in Manhattan. In this video of her talk, she offers her insights into making work less stressful and more meaningful and fulfilling, and she shares some favorite stories about learning to do it in her own work as a meditation teacher and writer. Two of the keys are cultivating a sense of mission which can animate any job, and “training” attention, compassion and care for oneself and others.
