Presenting meditation as something you can do every once in a while when you are feeling bad emotionally and want to feel better is like telling somebody that if they wake up feeling tired and out of shape, they should go for a quick three mile run and then they'll feel great for the rest of the day. It only works for people who are in decent shape already, and not only is it terrible advice for people who are looking for help, it's also presented in a way that makes people feel like something is wrong with them if it doesn't work for them like it supposedly does for other people.
