I find Sam Harris to be helpful here. He's an athiest intellectual and speaks a language closer to HN than hippies. https://samharris.org/podcasts/chapter-one/

ctrl-F "mindfulness" if you don't want to read the whole thing, though I'd suggest it.
Even better, this is also available as a reading on spotify. He's got a really soothing, compelling voice. Worth a shot.
- justboxing 8y agoThank you for this. I found the most precise and concise definition of mindfulness on this page. > MINDFULNESS > It is always now. This might sound trite, but it is the truth. It’s not quite true as a matter of neurology, because our minds are built upon layers of inputs whose timing we know must be different. [11] But it is true as a matter of conscious experience. The reality of your life is always now. And to realize this, we will see, is liberating. In fact, I think there is nothing more important to understand if you want to be happy in this world.
