We live--and work--in a world of nonstop noise. It's time to reimagine how we work and make silence the secret ingredient. From the time we wake up, our workday starts. We're on our smart phones, texting and emailing, scrolling news feeds, jumping on video conference calls. It's a 24/7 hamster wheel.
