Hello everyone,

I have into meditation for almost a decade now. Back in my masters days in 2018-19, took up the topic of Mindfulness and Leadership for my thesis. This year, I have finally found the courage to publish the thesis in a book form.

Most of the research I read about mindfulness and leadership did not explain how it actually brings about change in people’s neural networks and how exactly the changes reflected in personality traits, presence and self awareness and how did the increase presence and self awareness impact their team’s performance.

This book is my attempt to close this gap and along with it provide a 8-week guide to build trait mindfulness.

If you are interested in such reads, please do read and leave an honest review. Here is the book link: a.co/d/0b5paBPq

It is free on Kindle Unlimited.

Thank you

I have written a book based on mindfulness and leadership through the lens of neurology. This is something that I found was missing in the existing literature which just talks about mindfulness and not how it actually brings about changes in the brain neural networks.

The typical reader as per me would be someone at manager or higher position who is busy with work and not someone who casually scrolls through social media.

So, here is my question... how do I market the book apart from running amazon ads?

Quick context on why it exists: I looked for a book that explained what mindfulness actually does for leaders not in wellness or woo-woo language, but in the precise language of performance, teams, and neurological change. I couldn't find one that satisfied me, so I spent a year writing it.

What it covers:

• The neuroscience of why leadership training doesn't stick and what actually changes behaviour at the level where it's generated

• How a single leader's mindfulness practice propagates through a team specifically through psychological safety

• Case studies of three leaders pre and post practice, with specific team-level changes documented

• A complete 8-week program with daily tracking tools

It's not a meditation book. It's a leadership performance book that takes the science seriously.

If that's your kind of read, it's on KU right now.

Honest reviews always welcome.

I've spent a year reading the research on why leadership development programs fail and the findings are uncomfortable.

The curricula of most major programs are actually well-designed. The right topics are covered: strategy, emotional intelligence, communication, decision-making, team dynamics. The facilitators are excellent. The participants are engaged.

The failure isn't the content of the programs. It's level.

Conventional programs address leadership at the level of knowledge and skill. This is the most accessible level, but also the least powerful in determining how leaders actually behave in the unscripted, high-pressure moments that constitute the real tests of leadership quality.

Here's what happens based on neurological research: the habitual patterns that generate most leadership behaviour are encoded in deeply established neural pathways which are reinforced by thousands of repetitions across years of professional life. These pathways run automatically, below the level of conscious deliberation. When pressure increases, when cognitive resources are depleted by stress, when the environment triggers familiar emotional responses, the brain defaults to these pre-existing and set pathways.

The training-room intentions are simply not strong enough to override them.

What the research actually points toward is a form of development that operates at a different level which is the quality of attention that a leader brings to each interaction. The degree to which they can remain emotionally regulated under pressure. Their capacity to observe their own reactions clearly enough to choose a deliberate response rather than fight or flight one.

These are trainable skills. Neuroscience makes this unambiguous. The question is whether we're training for them.

What's your experience been with mindfulness training? Does training actually change behaviour under pressure, or does the old pattern reassert itself after a year or two after discontinuing mindfulness practice?
