- 소개/요약In Mindlessness, Thomas Joiner provides cogent critique of the mindfulness craze that permeates the contemporary cultural scene. He not only debunks the common misconception that research demonstrates the uniquely effective nature of mindfulness practice and mindfulness-based treatments, but he also demonstrates the way in which the more valuable dimensions of the mindfulness-based traditions are undermined by the narcissistic turn that contemporary culture has taken. Joiner argues that what he terms authentic mindfulness has been replaced by a corrupted form of mindfulness that emphasizes an egoistic preoccupation with gratifying our own needs, desires, and fantasies. In its place he argues for the importance of a more fundamental reorientation of our approach towards life that emphasizes a stoic emphasis on accepting life in its own terms and holds that happiness is a byproduct of the pursuit of virtue."
