I’m Meng, retired Jolly Good Fellow of Google. AMA!

Hello friends.

I’m Chade-Meng Tan, Google pioneer, award-winning engineer, and international bestselling author.  In 2015, I retired from Google as its Jolly Good Fellow at the age of 45. I’m also Chairman of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute and Co-chair of One Billion Acts of Peace, which has been nominated seven times for the Nobel Peace Prize. I have an upcoming book called Joy on Demand, which will be published on 31 May 2016.

At Google, I led the creation of a groundbreaking mindfulness-based emotional intelligence course called Search Inside Yourself, which was featured on the front page of the Sunday Business section of the New York Times. Search Inside Yourself is also the title of my first book, a New York Times bestseller which has been endorsed by world leaders such as President Carter of the United States, business leaders such as Eric Schmidt of Google and John Mackey of Whole Foods Markets, and spiritual leaders such as the Dalai Lama. I have been on the front page of the New York Times and the Times of London, I have met hundreds of celebrities and world leaders, including Presidents Carter, Clinton, and Obama, I delivered a TED talk on compassion at the United Nations and spoke at the White House about the development of kindness.  My career goal is to create the conditions for world peace in my lifetime.

Feel free to ask me anything. Especially on these topics:

• Meditation, mindfulness and emotional intelligence, especially as applied to the work place.
• Scaling inner peace, inner joy and compassion, worldwide.
• Creating the conditions for world peace in one lifetime.

Ask away!
