Now that mindfulness is the fastest-growing wellness trend since yoga, it seems as if everything is calling itself mindfulness these days. (And, since 2013, there’s been a countertrend of backlash, from various fronts, such as evangelical Christian fundamentalists and critics of neoliberal capitalism.) So I felt it an apt moment to reframe the narrative of what we talk about when we talk about mindfulness.
Five years in the making, my new book builds upon the success of scientific secularization to expand the horizon by going back to the roots. Genuine benefits from a shake-and-bake approach might be seen as an invitation for this deeper dive, into something more dynamic and consequential. Here’s a single strand upon which to string all the various beads being offered, as a coherent, dynamic whole.
If we're rebranding a certain aspect of Buddhism, why not include all the simple, basic ingredients of that ancient, ever-vital recipe: moral values in action [pause], meditation [breathe], insightful worldview [smile]. The three in tandem interact as a integral whole that a general audience can access and enjoy – 24/7.
Jon Kabat-Zinn meets Thich Nhat Hanh.
Clear, depthy, and potent.
That's it – in a nutshell.
