Googling for Enlightenment

Friday January 9, 2009

BNet News reports that Google has opened a "School of Personal Growth" for employees.

According to Paul Kaihla of the spirituality site Soul’s Code, the new school offers employees four areas of study: mental development; emotional development; holistic health; and the Buddhist concept “beyond the self.”

Among the teachers is Zoketsu Norman Fischer, Zen teacher and Stanford neuroscientist Philippe Goldin.

The point? Google hopes to enhance employees' brainstorming and creative abilities.
