> Mind-wandering: the rise of a new anti-mindfulness movement
This is absurd. Contrary to the efforts of ideologues, Mindfulness isn't a movement, it's an idea, and there are other equally valid ideas, like creative daydreaming. There's no actual conflict between choosing to pay attention to one's surroundings, and paying attention to one's inner creative voices -- they're complementary, non-conflicting states.
Only in the field of human psychology can an obviously legitimate mental state be described as an "anti-mindfulness movement", except for people whose minds have a maximum capacity of one trivial idea.
