The critical and historical analyses create a space in which the personal accounts of mindfulness, grounded in years of Zen practice, sparkle with creativity and the potentiality of free play., "This timely collection raises urgent questions about Mindfulness-capital "M"-now that it has been extracted from its Buddhist roots and forced to stand alone as a secularized discipline. Shorn of its Buddhist allies, Mindfulness has been presented to the world with new clothes, in conformance with our goal-oriented modern marketplace, our workshop-based culture, our instrumentalist education system. The editors show that there is indeed something wrong with this picture, and it is about time to interrogate this development.", What's Wrong with Mindfulness (And What Isn't) does a fantastic job of detailing these setbacks and offering a clear picture of what earnest practice looks like., This thoughtful book offers reassurance to those concerned about maintaining authenticity amidst the current hype about mindfulness. The book presents a range articulate and courageous voices that collectively expand the reader's understanding of mindfulness in the context of Zen teachings. What's Wrong with Mindfulness merges deep respect for tradition with thorough acceptance of contemporary times.

SynopsisMindfulness seems to be everywhere--but are we sure that's a good thing? Teachers Sallie Jiko Tisdale, Gil Fronsdal, Norman Fischer, and more explain how removing mindfulness from Buddhism may set a dangerous precedent. Mindfulness is in fashion. Oprah loves it, Google teaches it to employees--it has become widespread as a cure-all for stress, health problems and psychological difficulties, interpersonal trouble, and existential anxiety. But when mindfulness is separated from the Buddhist tradition, is something lost? The Zen teachers gathered here each offer a unique perspective on what "mindfulness" means, its strengths, and the potential pitfalls. Gil Fronsdal and Max Erdstein thoughtfully explore the rich Pali roots of mindfulness Barry Magid and Marc Poirier examine the unintended side effects of exposing a spiritual tradition to the demands of capitalism Norman Fischer demonstrates how mindfulness informs his creative process Grace Schireson shows how mindfulness allows her to engage fully with the world as a feminist And more, including essays on mindfulness and environmentalism, science, and psychology. Each chapter offers insights to ground mindfulness in a deeper understanding of both where it comes from, and where it might be headed.
