Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)

Meditation, as health costs are so high and the technology is simple. The main challenge for futurists is how to transform the narrative so that it is not religious, but a rational practice, especially if you are in charge of a business or corporation. In a spiritual audit of the American corporation, over 50 percent of CEOs said spirituality is defined as something open, transcendental, inclusive; it becomes one of the key competitive edges, they have purpose, they work harder, they listen to others. It creates a whole change in the culture and climate. Even in the framework of competition, these wild cards can enhance one’s location in the world’s economy. It is mostly looking at how we change the cultural narrative, so that it feels more rational and there is support for it.
