Psychotherapy, Mindfulness and Buddhist Meditation

More about the book

The book explores the evolution of mindfulness from its Buddhist roots to contemporary applications in mental health and performance enhancement. It starts by defining mindfulness and traces Buddhism's influence in the West, particularly through Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). In its latter chapters, the text addresses critical issues surrounding mindfulness, including the erosion of Buddhism's moral values and the commercialization of psychological struggles in a capitalist context.
