True that it’s not a silver bullet.. I don’t really see it as a fad though. It’s been around for thousands of years. It’s probably not going anywhere.

- kayodelycaon 5y agoA lot of the talk about mindfulness is a fad. The actual practice is extremely old. Same with meditation.
- it_citizen 5y agoI see his point though. More and more I am associating mindfulness as one of many over-marketed self-help practices to cope with the stress of modern life. This mountain of books and methods to find calm or happiness appear to me as a stigma of how insane some aspects of modern life can be. Somehow, our society create a problem and sell you a way to deal with it. Sometimes I am even thinking it is one of the built-in mechanism helping to keep the system stable.
- zentropia 5y agoAstrology has been thousands of years, too. So it's not a proof is not a fad.
