Mindfulness¶
Psychology (Humanities), 1979
A new personal superpower invented by white people who like Yoga, to make them immune from anxiety over First World Problems.
Buddhist meditation. Often decried as “McMindfulness”, the modern “movement” of being more considerate as a person without needing all that complex religious stuff, gained influence from intellectual™ people in psychology who liked Jon Kabat-Zinn’s “karmic reassignment”, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program at the “Center for Mindfulness” at Massachusetts Medical School, which was founded in 1979.
