"Cons:
-There is absolutely nothing new in this book. The author has simply rehashed the work of the introduction writers Goleman, Kabat-Zinn and of several other authors.
- The meditation exercises given are standard Buddhist meditation exercises that have been in print for many years. Some appear to have been copied almost verbatim from the above mentioned authors. (I am surprised Google allows an employee to publish non original material)
- The other exercises he uses in his Google course "Search Inside Yourself" ("one on one listening", etc) are standard New Age techniques that have been in place for many years.

Pros:
-The book is written in a straightforward style, easy to digest for the newcomer.
- If the book has helped anyone to find a happier life, then it is overcomes the criticisms listed above."

• Excellent Book that takes an Engineering Prospective to Mindfulness!
  
  This was one of my first exposures to mindfulness, and it was refreshing to find something that spoke my language. Instead of all the mystical BS, Medical Jargon, or Boring long winded words that make no sense, the book explained why Mindfulness works, and how you can use it. The book is based on a course that was internally developed at Google, called Search Inside Yourself. This has now Branched into an outside organization, called Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute, or SIYLI. Cheng-Meng Tan was the one that pioneered the course, and later institute. And he has serious programmer chops.
  
  What I have found is there are two different schools of Mindfulness. They both have similarities, but they have a bit difference approach.
  
  - Medical as a way to reduce pain. the idea being you get rid of future and past pain, by focusing only on the present pain. You have now reduced your pain by 2/3rds! Jon Kabat-Zinn is the god father of this movement, and his classic book is Full Catastrophe Living (Revised Edition) Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness
  
  - Buddhist, that often has a more mystical point of view. Your breath is often the focus, but there is a philosophy behind it.
  
  I have attended a Medical type mindfulness class, as well as one by SIYLI, and a couple of meditation retreats by a Buddhist Monk Bhante Yogavacara Rahula, who has an amazing past, and a few other seminars including one by Jeremy Hunter of the Drucker School of Management. They all have had value, but the book Search Inside Yourself explained the why, which made it click. Mindfulness has been an excellent tool for reducing stress. I view it as giving your brain a mental break, which helps a tremendous amount and your mind is a muscle, and it needs exercising. Mindfulness is a great way to exercise your brain!
• I've meditated for the past few years and love both leadership books and behavioral psychology books so this was a wonderful combination of all 3 concepts. The author has a quirky sense of humor that I found amusing. Laughing aloud while listening to an audiobook is not normal for me and fun surprise each time. The content of the book is great but feels forced in a book format. I think this would be an awesome class to take in-person and could be done well online if you were able to build in-person communities to enable collaboration.
• Search Inside Yourself makes one of the more compelling cases for committing to meditation as a lifestyle. Part anecdotal, part scientific, part humorous, Chade-Meng Tan did his absolute best to make mediation appealing to a broad audience. However, this book was one of my most difficult reads this year.
  
  Given the amount of neuroscientist-level jargon needed to establish credibility, I had to continually put the book down after a 15-20 pages to digest the information. I also used that time to try the recommended activities, which were a welcomed reprieve.
  
  Overall, it's a worthwhile read, but it's likely much easier to get certified through one of their "SIY" conference seminars. I don't get through many books if I have to muscle through them, but something kept bringing me back to Meng Tan's work.
• I had heard about Chade-Meng a lot and this one was in my to read list for longest time but boy when I started it, didn’t put it down or couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend, not only presents easy step to achieve mindfulness but goes further in explaining the benefits of daily practice of mindfulness. There are some very useful practical tips in the book that one can bring to practice for better life, work, healthy relationship, de-stress and world peace around you.
• I didn't know what to expect when I got this book, but I absolutely loved it. This is one of those books that I find myself going back to again and again. As I went through I would highlight particularly relevant passages so I could go back to those ideas. The book is very entertaining, with many places where I found myself giggling or smiling. Meng provides a nice little peek into the inner workings of Google, which is fun for an outsider. If you are interested in learning more about yourself, and are ready and willing to take an introspective journey, this is the book for you. At the end of each chapter are exercises and meditations that you can practice, which makes this a much more interactive experience. This is not a book to quickly read and set aside - it is one to take along on a journey to your own happiness and greatness.
• The engineer's guide to developing mindfulness - I love how his analytical rationale compliments other spiritual or intuitive explanations. I learned new ways to think about mindfulness practice, and new ways to explain its components to engineers I may encounter as well. ) I personally found him pretty hilarious too. )
