I used Headspace's mindful meditation for a few weeks to attempt to manage some work related stress in an old job. It did help me a little bit initially but it wasn't helping with the root cause of the problem (that the job sucked and I should look for another one). I know people who have really benefited from mindful meditation as a means to manage stress though so I don't doubt it does help some people. Possibly better for the types of stress and anxiety that builds up over time from a mixture of sources than solely from one obvious cause like in my case.
