Synopsis
In the documentary From Business to Being, directors Hanna Henigin and Julian Wildgruber provide deep insight into the emotional sphere of the otherwise closed world of business leaders. They explore questions like: To what extent are the crises of today’s workplaces crises of consciousness? Can meditation and awareness training help to free people from stress-provoking patterns of thinking and behaving, and get back to themselves? In their search for answers, the filmmakers meet experts from economy, science and meditation who build bridges between “business” and “being”, and give new impetus for a cultural change in the business world – one that focuses on the well-being of all stakeholders.
