It's the exact same reason why businesses have been pushing mindfulness at work as well. They don't want to actually reduce stress or solve the problems workers are facing; they'd rather try and teach them to not break as fast while under stress.
This isn't to discount the benefits of being mindful or meditating for people. But you should be very wary when someone's trying to sell you on it because usually there's a greater reason for it.
- nefitty 6y agoWhatever the intent, or the side effects, mindfulness is still beneficial for individuals. Skepticism is healthy, but sometimes we need to place more weight on first-order effects, otherwise we’re paralyzed obsessing over which and how bad guys will benefit from the things that benefit us.
