About Search Inside Yourself
• Hardcover and eBook: 288 pages
• Publisher: HarperOne (April 24, 2012)
In his first book, Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Profits, Happiness (and World Peace), Meng distills emotional intelligence into a set of practical and proven tools and skills that anyone can learn to transform their own creativity, productivity and happiness in work and life.
Created in collaboration with a Zen Master, a CEO, a Stanford University scientist, and Daniel Goleman (the guy who literally wrote the book on emotional intelligence), this program is grounded in science and expressed in a way that even a skeptical, compulsively pragmatic, engineering-oriented brain like Meng’s can process. Whether one’s intention is to reduce stress and increase wellbeing, heighten focus and creativity, become more optimistic and resilient, build fulfilling relationships, or make a profit, the skills learned from Search Inside Yourself will help one to “optimize thyself” and gain that extra edge.
Search Inside Yourself reveals how to find inner joy while succeeding at your work. Meng writes “Some books teach you how to be happy, some teach you how to be successful, and some teach you how to be liked. This book teaches you all three. You must be feeling lucky.”
“Search Inside Yourself and the course it’s based on represent one of the greatest aspects of Google’s culture — that one individual with a great idea can really change the world.” — Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google
