McMindfulness How mindfulness became the new capitalist spirituality

Ronald E. Purser, 1956-

Book - 2019

"[W]hat if, instead of changing the world, mindfulness has become a banal form of capitalist spirituality that mindlessly avoids social and political transformation, reinforcing the neoliberal status quo? In McMindfulness, Ronald Purser debunks the so-called "mindfulness revolution," exposing how corporations, schools, governments and the military have co-opted it as technique for social control and self-pacification ... challenging the narrative that stress is self-imposed and mindfulness is the cure-all"--Supplied by the publisher.
