Is Mindfulness Another Corporate Fad?
Manage episode 217614409 series 2417756
People have become so divorced from their own condition that they don’t notice it. There’s a delusion at play that contributes to the ‘wired but tired’ state so common in high-performance results-focused cultures (‘I’m operating, I’m great, no worries’) – a major contributor to burnout. But it’s not identified, because western culture is very good at teaching you how to set goals and assess your career success, but not very good at teaching you how to assess your personal wellbeing. That’s why simple mindfulness practices can have such profound effects on people, and it’s why mindfulness is enjoying such a surge of popularity in western countries.
