Wall Street CEO Barry Sommers Doesn't Miss Out on Transcendental Meditation and a Good Night's Sleep


During the second Fortune Brainstorm HEALTH conference, CEO Barry Sommers from JPMorgan Chase & Co., told the audience that for ten years, Transcendental Meditation and eight hours of sleep every night have made him wake up happy every morning and become more productive.


"I've found in a culture like Wall Street, people are obsessed with how many hours people work," said Barry Sommers, CEO of Wealth Management at J.P. Morgan Chase, during Fortune's second annual Brainstorm Health conference in San Diego on Tuesday. "Way too many people are getting out of there as fast as they can because they're totally burnt out."


Sommers decided to take his health into his own hands a decade ago after someone he'd known personally and professionally for 30 years started doing Transcendental Meditation. "It transformed this person's life," he said. "I saw a different person."
