Worth Magazine: How Google's former lawyer found enlightenment
By all appearances, attorney Anjali Kumar had everything figured out. Her stellar career includes senior roles and general counsel appointments at Cheddar, Warby Parker, Acumen and Google. Still, when her daughter Zia was born 10 years ago, Kumar found herself spiritually adrift. In characteristic fashion, Kumar, who is also an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and Fordham University, pursued enlightenment with zeal and humor. The resulting book, Stalking God: My Unorthodox Search for Something to Believe In (Hachette 2018), has been translated into over 20 languages and is now being developed as a television series.
Kumar spoke with Worth about what she learned at a Wiccan potluck, how the coronavirus pandemic furthers her belief that we are all connected and how she mines productivity from discomfort.
