Americans hire the cheap labor of illegal immigrants to fix the roof or mow the lawn and vote for politicians who promise to spend billions to keep them out of the country.

Many of our largest companies, such as General Mills, Ford, Target, and Google, have built extensive programs to foster mindful practices among their workers.

If our emotions are so destructive and unreliable, why has evolution left us with them?

We must achieve self-mastery - by accepting responsibility for our actions, understanding our innate work style, and discerning when and how to push outside our comfort zone.
