Computerworld recently had a piece about "Tech companies find their inner Zen:"

For high-tech powerhouses like Intel and Google, where scientists and engineers are focused on goals like developing algorithms, circuits and data, meditation is becoming a new fuel behind their work.

Breathing exercises and meditation are replacing energy drinks and vats of coffee as employees are pushed to innovate more and faster, and get ahead of their competitors. It's increasingly less cool to be a great multitasker or to continually check email and texts while in a meeting or working on a project.

A calm mind is the new in thing.
