I had no idea about running a company. I only had experience as a predoc researcher in solid state physics. But I had no choice: the practice of mindfulness had changed my mental health so radically that I wanted to understand what had happened. How could such a "simple" practice increase my ability to concentrate, my memory or my control of my nervous states, or even my aesthetic sensitivity or the way I relate to others? I decided to move my research core: from networks of atoms to networks of neurons. But it was not easy to research and develop such a project in 2007. In Spain, few people knew about mindfulness and in the academic world (it still happens today) there was a certain "fear" and reluctance to investigate these fascinating questions. That's why I founded the Nirakara Lab two years later (2009). Nirakara is now a training institute associated with several national and international universities and a laboratory in cognitive sciences. The idea was to follow the statement of a Spanish Nobel Prize winner Ramón y Cajal: "Every human being, if he puts his mind to it, can be a sculptor of his own brain". The question is how; what are the brain mechanisms that allow such a change. I declare myself a curious skeptic, who like Pirrón de Elis and Popper, I recognize that all truth is a delusion. After a decade, Nirakara has more than 20,000 students and I have seen, without a doubt, the great plasticity that human beings have. The capacity to adapt, overcome, and fulfill oneself even in adverse situations. I have also seen the other side of the coin: how easy self-destruction and suffering are. I hope that I have many years left to live because I have only touched the most superficial end of the human phenomenon. For a few years now, using the scientific method and appropriate analysis tools, we have been helping companies to better understand "their intangible layers": the state of motivation and health of each individual in the organization and the interaction between them. Using our own methodologies we try to model the behavior of the organizational ecosystem to detect possible weaknesses and strengths. We teach companies and institutions on how to measure the impact of interventions and training on strategic variables and thus prevent waste. We believe that the evolution of people and their institutions, above all, is supported by that "black box" that has not yet been sufficiently explored, which represents the interior of the human being.
