Is Mindfulness a Load of Rubbish?


Not sure what to make of this.

A fad?

It actually derives from stoicism...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism


but given a 21st century sugar coating.

spoofed rather nicely in this Ladybird book...

www.amazon.co.uk/Ladybird-Book-Mindfulness-Ladybirds-Grown-Ups-ebook/dp/B015QQ10FQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1486212563&sr=1-1&keywords=ladybird+book+of+mindfulness

So, is it a load of old, self-indulgent, rubbish that'll disappear soon?

Or a helpful form of meditation based on ancient philosophy, which is here to stay?
