82% Informative

American Psychological Association’s 2023 Work and Well-being Survey found 77% of Americans suffered from workplace stress.

Over half of respondents reported symptoms of burnout, which ranged from emotional exhaustion to wanting to quit.

By 2022 , meditation had become the most prevalent relaxation practice in the U.S. , with 18% adopting it.

Jaime L Kucinskas : I fear mindfulness is all too often becoming a Band-Aid that helps sustain overburdened employees on an endless quest for more productivity.

This is a far cry from many spiritual practitioners’ goals of using the practice as a transcendent metaphorical journey to a place of deeper personal insight, he says.
