Check out the book "Search Inside Yourself" based on the mindfulness program developed at Google

Many great and fun team / workplace activities. Applicable too more than just devs or work too!

Similar to what the other commenter did, is this the same as SIYLI and this program https://www.mindfulnesscenter.tw/files/shares/2-Day_Program_...?

I would say that while I really like these sorts of exercises for us devs because it's underrated, I would expect these thing to be run by at least a Psychologist who has training understanding the background of why these things are good for us rather than a dev like myself who would just be reading from a book to explaining it to others without verifying it myself.

Based on Amazon reviews, seems to be just a typical mindfulness book for better or worse.

Curious what's an example of a fun team / workplace activity from the book?
