Ron Purser's McMindfulness Dissected

I’ve sought to summarise the ideas and arguments of this strident critique of mindfulness in 5 sections. The first, sets out the context for Purser’s arguments as the extra-ordinary success of mindfulness. This is followed by 3 interwoven layers of critique – a technocratic one (part 2) questioning the credibility and coherence of its scientific claims, a Buddhist one (part 3) - presenting mindfulness as stunted parody of Buddhism, and a Marxist one (part 4) which considers mindfulness as both a commodified product of capitalism, as well as a form of Neo-liberal power to manufacture of consent to capitalist realities. Finally part 5 concludes the film with a short critique of Purser’s arguments
