“One of the most popular classes Google offers to its employees is called ‘SIY,’ for ‘Search Inside Yourself.’ The class was started by Tan, an engineer and Google employee No. 107, who eventually wrote this book about his principles. The course is divided into three parts: attention training, self–knowledge, and building useful mental habits.”↗
