Mindfulness, Meditation, Wellness and Their Connection to Corporate America's Bottom Line

Arianna Huffington: Today I'll be guest-hosting CNBC's Squawk Box. As well as discussing Cyprus and a possible euro-crisis, we are going to discuss the growing trend in corporate America to take steps -- meditation, yoga, mindfulness trainings -- to reduce stress and improve health and creativity. Even a quick look at what's happening in the American workplace shows that it's a seriously split-screen world. On the one hand, there's the stressful world of quarterly earnings reports, beating growth expectations, hard-charging CEOs, and focusing on the bottom line -- the world that is the usual focus of CNBC and Squawk Box. On the other hand, there's the world populated by the growing awareness of the costs of stress, not just in the health and well-being of business leaders and employees, but on the bottom line as well.
