Search Inside Yourself was born at Google from a dream to change the world. 

It began in 2007 when a team of leading experts in mindfulness, neuroscience and emotional intelligence developed an internal course for fellow Googlers. It quickly became an incredibly popular training program within Google. Interest outside Google was so great that the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI) was established in 2012 as an independent non-profit organization.
Since then, Search Inside Yourself has become a globally recognized program and SIYLI continues to work with Google, as well as other corporate, non-profit and government organizations around the world.
