Mindfulness-Based Strategic Awareness Training: A Complete Program for Leaders and Individuals is the first book to link mindfulness training and positive psychology to the leadership, strategy and management issues faced by individuals and organizations. Mindfulness-based strategic awareness training shows how mindfulness training can enhance strategic awareness -- the ability to perceive, create, and capitalize on business and personal opportunities -- and how positive psychology and a strengths-based approach can help leaders and managers to achieve their potential and lead more fulfilling lives. Drawing on research from neuroscience, positive psychology, behavioral finance, and management, Juan Humberto Young makes a compelling argument that prospering in today's complex and uncertain world requires specific personal resources in the form of cognitive flexibility and the ability to adapt to new changes. He then sets out a complete eight-week program in mindfulness-based strategic awareness training (MBSAT), a tool that can help participants to "rewire" their brains for consistently improved results at individual, team, and organizational levels. --Dust jacket flap.
