| Abstract: |
This chapter builds on previous critiques of psychologisation and the social, cultural, and political consequences of the ascendancy of psychological reason in both public and private life. It approaches the popularisation of mindfulness primarily as a process exemplifying a larger social trend and dovetails with critiques of the mindfulness industry and the more simplistic accounts of mindfulness that it has yielded. |
