McMindfulness: Cómo el mindfulness se convirtió en la nueva espiritualidad capitalista

In a world increasingly drawn to the concept of mindfulness, Ronald E. Purser invites readers to critically examine its transformation into a commercialized product. He explores how this once spiritual practice has been repackaged to fit the demands of a capitalist society, stripping it of its deeper, authentic roots. Through insightful analysis, he reveals the irony of mindfulness being marketed as a remedy for the very stress and disconnection that the modern work environment fosters.

Purser unpacks the ways in which mindfulness has been commodified, offering a poignant critique of its commercial versions that often overlook the importance of community and genuine personal growth. He provides a compelling argument that this shift towards a corporate-friendly mindfulness dilutes its original essence and purpose, turning a profound spiritual practice into a mere tool for marketability.

Ultimately, the text challenges readers to reflect on their own relationships with mindfulness and to consider the broader implications of its commercialization. By fostering a deeper understanding of mindfulness's roots and its current state, Purser paves the way for a more authentic practice that can truly enhance well-being rather than merely serve corporate interests.
