Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is a big fan of meditation and "mindfulness."

He's been meditating almost every day for the past two decades, and is one of the most vocal supporters of promoting inner peace and "mindfulness" at work.

Now, he's taking it up a notch by putting meditation rooms on every floor of one of the new Salesforce buildings that just opened in San Francisco on Monday.

The goal: to make it easy for employees to meditate, which he believes will bring more innovative ideas.
