I totally get what the Jacobin article is saying about the cynical adoption of mindfulness by corporations. But it seems strange to hear the interviewee, a practicing Buddhist apparently, describe its benefits as "probably no better than going walking in the woods or going for a jog". Done properly, not as a goal-oriented thing, it is the key Buddhist technique for enlightenment. Its current, annoying ubiquity in boardrooms shouldn't lead one to throw the 3000 year old spiritual baby out with the corporate bathwater.
