Starting a new job requires starting some positive reading. I picked up Buddha's Office: The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well by Zen Priest Dan Zigmond. Here is the synopsis of the book:

"Without setting foot in an office, Buddha knew that helping people work right was essential to helping them find their path to awakening. Now more than ever, we need Buddha's guidance. Too many of us are working long hours, dealing with difficult bosses, high-maintenance coworkers, and non-stop stress. We need someone to help remind us that there is a better way. With Buddha's wisdom at the core of every chapter, Buddha's Office will help you learn how to stop taking shortcuts and pay more attention, care for yourself and others, deal with distractions, and incorporate Buddha's ageless instructions into our modern working life.

It's time to wake up and start working in a more enlightened way. One that is right for you, right for our health, right for your sanity, and right for the world."

So far the book is interesting and a quick and whimsical read. Have a great Friday and weekend!!!

DeMello vs "Buddha's Office: The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well" by Dan Zigmond

DeMello vs “Buddha’s Office: The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well” by Dan Zigmond

“BUDDHA NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE,” Dan Zigmond tells us–and you may think “what a sweeping generalization” about a “pampered prince” who left his riches behind to become a wandering monk and spiritual teacher, “all without ever earning a salary.” There is work, however, and there are “works,” and if you get past that opening paragraph, you’ll find plenty to learn in this book. Even if…

Book review: Buddha’s Office: The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well

Buddha’s Office: The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well is an upcoming book by Dan Zigmond (December 3rd, 2019 release date,) that is aimed at anyone who is interested in incorporating some Buddhist philosophy into their work in order to obtain some sanity and happiness. It works fairly well at introducing some well studied techniques to help you work better while being less busy.

It’s…

A practice that is easy to remember and follow. Disclaimer: I am a coworker of Dan Zigmond, and I knew Dan from work. But I aim to have an unbiased review of Dan’s book. Go to Amazon

Embrace mindfulness and lose weight I started Buddha’s Diet with no preconceptions. Although I have a rudimentary understanding of Buddhism, I really wasn’t sure what the thousand year old Buddhist philosophy would say about the hundred year old problem of obesity and weight control. Come to find out, Buddhism can be applied to a holistic approach to eating that works well in the 21st century, especially for those of us who struggle with our weight. Go to Amazon

A mindful, permanent solution for losing weight and enjoying life This is the very best weight loss plan I've tried, having experienced a painless loss of 2 lb in the first week and a half. It's not that the ideas are radical. I already knew the maxim "finish dinner 4 hours before going to bed", but this book explains the 'why' of it working. I wouldn't be surprised if the French paradox (people eating decadent meals yet staying slim ) boils down to not going to sleep right after dinner and having a small breakfast mid-morning. Go to Amazon

Very practical A great approach to weight loss or even just to enhance your lifestyle. I can't directly attribute my lower BSLs to this but they are so improved that I have started to reduce my daily insulin supplements Go to Amazon

It had nothing to do with diet or anything like that. The entire book is "Don't eat anything ... Quick Read Buddha Without the Belly Get it now Good read Good Book Five Stars A Non-Self Self-Help Book The Middle Way Well written book

Health nuts from Hugh Jackman to Tim Ferriss are trying 'intermittent fasting' — the dieting fad that lets you eat anything

A diet that goes against convention wisdom on healthy eating is gaining traction among health nuts, including Hugh Jackman, "4-Hour Workweek" author Tim Ferriss, and tech workers in Silicon Valley. It's pretty simple, with no calorie-counting or intense exercise regimen involved.

How it works, in a nutshell: Don't eat during certain hours of the day.

When people practice intermittent fasting — the buzziest diet of 2017 — they go without food for anywhere from 14 hours to several days. Some techies say intermittent fasting helps them focus and be more productive, while others laud the diet as an easy weight-loss hack.

Here's what you need to know if you're thinking about trying a fast.

Hugh Jackman did not wake up like this.

In 2013, the actor, who plays Wolverine, told Australia's "60 Minutes" in an interview that he fasts for 16 hours out of the day while training for the big screen.

"From about 10 in the morning till 6, for this, I eat way too much. And then nothing after that," said Jackman, who apparently got the idea from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The most common intermittent fasts last between 14 and 36 hours. Giving up food and even the milk in your morning coffee can be difficult. But there's one major perk — simplicity.

Dan Zigmond, director of analytics at Facebook and a seasoned faster, told Business Insider in 2016 that he and his friends have tried and abandoned other extreme diets over the years.

"Lots of us are eating at work or on the run. It's kind of hard to control what you eat these days," Zigmond said. "But one thing that basically everyone can control is time."

I tried the popular Silicon Valley diet credited with boosting energy and prolonging life — and it was one of the hardest things I’ve done

Erin Brodwin / Business Insider

I've been ignoring my mother for a week and a half.

For the past 10 days, I've stifled the small voice she instilled in the back of my mind to remind me that forgoing breakfast is nutritional doom — all for the sake of a hot new diet known as intermittent fasting.

The diet essentially involves abstaining from food for a set period of time ranging from 16 hours to several days — and surprisingly, it has a lot of scientific backing.

Large studies have found intermittent fasting to be just as reliable for weight loss as traditional diets. And a few studies in animals have suggested it could have other benefits, such as reducing the risk for certain cancers and even prolonging life.

Silicon Valley loves it. A Bay Area group called WeFast meets weekly to collectively break their fasts with a hearty morning meal. Facebook executive Dan Zigmond confines his eating to a narrow time slot; many other CEOs and tech pioneers are sworn "IF" devotees — some even fast for up to 36 hours at a time.

I opted to try a form of the diet known as the 16:8, in which you fast for 16 hours and eat (or "feed," as some proponents call it) for eight hours. With this regimen, you can eat whatever you want — so long as it doesn't fall outside the designated eight-hour window.

Here's how it went.

Before starting my fast, I had a standard checkup with a doctor called Krista Varady, one of the first researchers to study intermittent fasting in humans.

University of Illinois at Chicago

Varady is a nutrition professor at the University of Illinois and wrote a book about fasting called "The Every-Other-Day Diet" in 2013. She told me that the most scientifically supported benefit of intermittent fasting is weight loss.

To this end, most of Varady's IF research has involved obese people. Study subjects have lost a significant amount of weight — roughly the same amount they would have on a traditional diet that involves strict eating and calorie counting.

I told Varady that I was trying out the diet not to lose weight but rather to find out how feasible the plan was. She said that while certain people shouldn't try intermittent fasting — those over 70, people with type 1 diabetes, and women who are pregnant or lactating— "most people can give it a try."

Some research suggests that intermittent fasting has a handful of other benefits, from increased focus to a reduced risk of certain diseases. Some studies even suggest it may help prolong life, but most of that research has been in animals, not people.

Melia Robinson/Business Insider

Anecdotally, intermittent fasters report that their diets have helped them become more productive, build muscle faster, and sleep better. Members of a Silicon Valley startup called "HVMAN" skip eating on Tuesdays and claim they get more work done on that day than any other.

Varady said that hundreds of people in her studies have reported similar benefits. "But we haven't studied or quantified any of that yet," she said.

With the go-ahead from my doctor and Varady, I was ready to find out for myself. Based on some advice from other IF fans, I chose to break my daily fast at 12 p.m. and stop eating at 8 p.m., giving me eight hours to eat or "feed."

Erin Brodwin / Business Insider

I wanted my last meal before my first 16-hour fast to be good, so I made one of my favorites: homemade pizza. I eat pretty healthy most of the time — for my favorite pizza recipe, I top whole-wheat crust with tomato sauce, a blend of cheeses, arugula, and chicken breast. I gobbled a few pieces and got ready to fast.
