Work has long been associated with stress and pressure because the workplace is where people come to grind, give their all, and unfortunately, burn out. Many employees cope by disengaging from their job, which is becoming the latest workplace epidemic. As a result, workplace-induced stress is costing the U.S. economy a whopping $190 billion in healthcare expenses<\/a> a year. Fortunately, Leah Weiss<\/a> sits down with Wellable for a podcast that will teach listeners that work doesn’t need to be this way.<\/p>\n

Leah is a teacher, a researcher, and a meditation expert specializing in the application of mindfulness and compassion. Specifically, she’s a teacher of a perennially waitlisted course at Stanford Graduate School of Business called “Leading With Mindfulness And Compassion”. She used the course as the basis of her new book, How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, and Embrace the Daily Grind<\/a>, which serves as a practical guide for individuals to bring their whole selves to work.<\/p>\n
