39%: Finding Quiet in the Noise
The modern world has given us the ability to stay connected anytime and anywhere, but it has also brought with it a sense of distraction and exhaustion. As per Microsoft's 2021 Work Trend Index, about 39% of people worldwide describe themselves as exhausted due to the constant noise around them. To combat this, Dr. Clare Purvis, Senior Director of Behavioral Neuroscience at Headspace, discusses the use of meditation as a means to relieve stress in this episode of WorkLab's new podcast.
