Marc Lesser Books

Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader evolved out of Marc Lesser's work helping to create Search Inside Yourself, a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence program at Google. In this transformative book, he distills a lifetime of contemplative practice and business experience into seven simple, powerful practices for optimizing mindful leadership at work, as well as living a full and meaningful life: • Love the work • Do the work • Don't be an expert • Connect to your pain • Connect to the pain of others • Depend on others • Keep making it simpler

Exploring the paradox of busyness, this book emphasizes the importance of doing less in a society obsessed with more. Marc Lesser advocates for finding composure amidst chaos, presenting ideas and practices that challenge the relentless pursuit of productivity. By shifting focus from endless to-do lists to a more meaningful existence, readers can discover a transformative approach to life that fosters genuine productivity and fulfillment. This radical yet straightforward perspective encourages a balance between activity and inner peace.

A SURPRISING PATH TO BREAKTHROUGH COMMUNICATION AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS For Marc Lesser the key to healthy relationships and effective workplaces is compassionate accountability — a practical and trainable way to clarify and achieve shared visions of success. Numerous examples include: • facing rather than avoiding conflict for the long-term benefit of all. • working with and through difficult emotions with clarity, care, and connection. • understanding the stories we live by and evaluating whether they’re serving us well. • learning to listen and lead in ways that align with our mission and values. Marc works from the premise that problems are inevitable and that the success of an enterprise or relationship relies on how they are resolved. This applies to any joint effort — in a workplace, a family, a civic organization, a community, a country, or the world at large.
