Yeah, those guys. The ones driven purely by making money, they meditate. They don't meditate to save the world, or to be enlightened, they do it because it gives them an edge, because it works. 

As this Bloomberg article points out, they don't need scientists to tell them meditation works, it just takes one person, just one, and then suddenly that edge, that sharpness, that clarity, everyone around them is going to want what they have.

For anyone who might feel as if something good was just hijacked, something sacred was pillaged for greed, read the whole article, because making millions or billions and committing to giving it away, that might just be in the spirit of mindfulness.
