Abstract

Practices of mindfulness and meditation have drawn a lot of attention recently, both inside and outside of traditional Eastern cultural contexts. An extensive investigation of the effects of mindfulness and meditation activities on cognitive abilities at work is provided in this chapter. The study synthesizes literature to show the varied impacts of various activities, with a focus on attention, memory, decision-making, and executive functioning. It shows their potential to improve cognitive performance at work by examining their impact across cognitive domains, such as attentional concentration, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. By investigating neuroscientific basis using methods like fMRI and EEG, the inquiry goes into the fundamental neurological systems. The study also reveals moderating factors that affect how mindfulness therapies relate to cognitive results. Findings highlight how mindfulness and meditation activities might improve cognitive processes in circumstances when they are used professionally.
