If thinking, managing complex situations and systems, problem solving, leadership and development and innovation are large chunks of your daily life, meditation I believe would be a very useful practise.
And although meditation is most commonly positioned as a spiritual practise, I would argue it's more relevant today, as a psychological one.
Most importantly, as a psychological practise it does not require a belief in anything. Rather it's a practise supporting mindset and psychological development and mastery, with benefits including; clearer, faster thinking and reduced stress in pressurised situations.
Meditation doesn't change the knowledge you have, that comes from learning. It does however change the ease and fluidity with which you access and execute that information, under pressure.
Meditation is a psychological posture just as using chopsticks, a physiological one. However it's easy to demonstrate the use of chopsticks, but impossible to demonstrate the mental posture of meditation.
This makes how the practise is cognitively framed and explained, and the mechanics of what you actually do, important. And there are right and wrong ways, practises that work and practises that don't.
