I hate this trend wholeheartedly. They even introduce it to schools. I know they have good intentions but this is not how things work. The processes related to one's mind and personal development need to be voluntary and genuine, not sponsored by HR. Instead, what happened is that some people took an important aspects of Asian religions and presented it as a panaceum for stress and other contemporary problems.
It is not a universal cure, though. If you have problems, you become more aware of these problems. What do you do, then? In a traditional setting, you had a teacher who was personally responsible for guiding you on the path. Will your HR lady do that? It all makes very little sense to me when implemented in this way.
- mercer 2y agoI am a fan of mindfulness, but grounded in (a) faith or religious/spiritual framework. When it comes to 'corporate-style mindfulness', I like to think of the mindfulness as brushing a set of fake work-teeth that you may or may not care about.
