Item Description
Search for yourself! Visit the corporate headquarters of Google ,like we did, fondly nicknamed Googleplex, in Mountain View, Ca. Enjoy a one-hour campus tour with the very funny (and very smart too!) Google Jolly Good Fellow Chade-Meng Tan ( Meng). And after the tour you will have lunch in one of Google's wonderful cafes where you can ask Meng all the questions about Google, meditation, and world peace that you'd like!
We've taken this Google campus tour and it's amazing--a self-contained world where all that work is done to create the searches, maps, emails, and so much else that now is a regular part of our daily lives.
The highlight of the tour, apart from the fabulous food in their main world-cuisine cafeteria, is having time to talk and laugh with Meng. To learn more about Meng's conspiracy for world peace, visit: www.mengstupiditis.com The Sun's senior editor Barry Boyce profiled Meng and his work at Google in our September issue.
Chade-Meng Tan (Meng) is Google's Jolly Good Fellow (which nobody can deny). His unusual job title started as a joke, but eventually became real.
Meng was one of Google's earliest engineers. Among many other things, he helped build Google's first mobile search service, and headed the team that evaluated and kept a vigilant eye on Google's search quality. After a successful 8-year stint in Engineering, he now serves with Google University, where he is the Head of the School of Personal Growth. One of his main projects is Search Inside Yourself - a Mindfulness-based Emotional Intelligence course, which he hopes will eventually contribute to world peace in a meaningful way.
