What's Wrong with Mindfulness (And What Isn't) - Zen Perspectives
Type : epub |
Size : 2.25 MB |
English |
Descirption: Mindfulness seems to be everywhere-but what gets left out when it's diluted for a secular society? Teachers Sallie Jiko Tisdale, Gil Fronsdal, Norman Fischer, and more explain how removing mindfulness from Buddhism may set a dangerous precedent.
Mindfulness is in fashion. Oprah loves it, Google teaches it to employees-it has become widespread as a cure-all for stress, health problems and psychological difficulties, interpersonal trouble, and existential anxiety.

Mindfulness is in danger of being co-opted into the spiritual equivalent of fast food: "McMindfulness." Instead of being better people, we just become better employees, better consumers. The Zen teachers gathered here...
